Ariel Couto joined MDS Brazil in 2018 as ceo and is proud to lead what he considers to be ‘the most complete broker in the market’. He sums up his hopes for the future in three words: growth, margins and innovation. "This is the goal for the entire Group and something we must pursue in order to turn MDS Brazil into the largest business in the country.”
Ariel began his insurance career in 1995, managing a family-owned broker, Elecê. He went onto work with a number of companies including the Brascan Group (a broker and now Brookfield), RSA Seguros (now Sura Seguros) and QBE, gaining extensive experience in Brazil’s corporate insurance market.
