MNK International, a leading independent broker at Lloyd’s of London and part of the MNK Group, announces the launch of MNK International Brazil, a new brokerage providing re/insurance solutions, led by CEO Sergio Clark and International Director Alexandre Dabus.
Headquartered in São Paulo, MNK International Brazil will reportedly help Brazilian clients gain access to global and specialty insurance capabilities while supporting multinational organizations operating locally.
MNK Group said the new business will benefit from its global network, including MGAs and other risk-taking entities across multiple jurisdictions.
“This will enable clients to take advantage of innovative solutions in areas such as large industrial risks, oil and gas, engineering, financial operations, marine, real estate and other complex risks,” the company added.
Sergio Clark, CEO of MNK International Brazil, has more than 50 years of leadership experience in founding and growing large brokerage businesses, including a joint venture with JLT that was later sold to Marsh.
Meanwhile, international director Alexandre Dabus managed multinational client portfolios for Gallagher’s Brazilian partners and Marsh before joining Clark at a specialist start-up brokerage.
Clark commented: “Brazil is a demanding market that values experience, relationships and consistency, so we aim to build a focused and efficient business from day one.
“We are ready to prioritize new opportunities in the market, leveraging our capabilities and extensive network to deliver innovative solutions that meet customer needs.
“With the group’s deep expertise and knowledge, we are well positioned to grow rapidly and pursue these new opportunities, combining strong local knowledge with global market access.”
Naman Kumar, CEO of MNK International, said: “Expanding into Brazil is a natural next step for MNK International as we continue to grow rapidly in Latin America.
“In Brazil, we are working with a leadership team that has spent decades building trust in the market. MNK International Brazil will strengthen the way we support international clients interested in Brazil and help Brazilian customers access the best solutions globally.”
