Howden Tiger boosts Brazilian leadership with key Sompo hire

Broker Howden Tiger has hired a Sompo executive with a pedigree spanning Fairfax, Chubb and Metlife to lead the operations for its Brazilian business.

Estevam Souza (pictured) has joined Howden Tiger Brazil as head of operations.

Estevam joins Howden Tiger from Sompo Seguros SA, a subsidiary of Sompo International, where he spent nearly four years as reinsurance manager, overseeing reinsurance operations for the company’s Brazilian business. 

Previously, he held posts at companies including Porto Seguro, Fairfax, Chubb (as ACE Group), and MetLife. 

Antonio Jorge Rodrigues, head of Howden Tiger Brazil, said: “I am delighted to welcome Estevam to the team. Effective and efficient operations that support our focus on client service are a vital component of Howden's offering. 

“Estevam is a well recognised executive with extensive experience in the industry and region. I look forward to working closely with him and the International Reinsurance team to establish a state-of-the-art operations structure in Brazil."
