MNK International, a leading independent Lloyd’s of London broker and part of the MNK Group, has announced the launch of MNK International Brazil, a new brokerage offering 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 access global and specialty insurance capacity while also supporting multinational organisations with operations locally.
MNK Group said the new business will benefit from access to its global network, including MGAs and other risk‑bearing entities across multiple jurisdictions.
“This will allow clients to draw on innovative solutions across sectors such as large industrial risks, oil and gas, engineering, financial lines, marine, property and other complex risks,” the firm added.
MNK International Brazil CEO Sergio Clark brings over 50 years of leadership experience, having founded and grown major brokerage operations, including a joint venture with JLT that was later sold to Marsh.
Meanwhile, International Director Alexandre Dabus has managed multinational client portfolios for Gallagher’s Brazilian partner and Marsh, before joining Clark at a specialist start-up brokerage.
Clark commented, “Brazil is a demanding market that values experience, relationships and consistency, and so 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.
“With the group’s deep expertise and knowledge behind us, we are ready to grow quickly and pursue these new opportunities, matching strong local knowledge with global market access.”
Naman Kumar, CEO of MNK International, said, “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. MNK International Brazil will strengthen how we support international clients with interests in Brazil and help Brazilian clients access the very best solutions worldwide.”
