MNK International, an independent Lloyd’s of London broker, launches MNK International Brazil to provide (re)insurance solutions in the Latin American market. Based in São Paulo, the new business is led by CEO Sergio Clark and international director Alexandre Dabus. The office will support Brazilian clients in accessing global and specialty insurance capacity while providing local support for multinational organisations. Clark brings more than 50 years of brokerage leadership to the role, having previously founded several major brokerage operations, including a joint venture with JLT. Dabus joins with experience in developing multinational client portfolios at Gallagher’s Brazilian partner and Marsh. As part of the London-headquartered MNK Group, the Brazilian business will draw on the group's global network, including managing general agents and other risk-bearing entities. This allows for the delivery of solutions across sectors such as large industrial risks, oil and gas, engineering, financial lines, marine and property. Naman Kumar, CEO of MNK International, says: “As we continue our rapid growth in Latin America, expanding into Brazil is a natural next step for MNK International. In Brazil, we are partnering with a leadership team that has spent decades building trust in the market”. Kumar adds: “MNK International Brazil will strengthen how we support international clients with interests in Brazil and help Brazilian clients access the very best solutions worldwide”. Clark concludes: “Our goal is to build a focused and efficient business from day one. We are ready to prioritise new and emerging opportunities in the market, drawing on our capability and extensive networks to deliver innovative solutions that meet the needs of our clients”.
