Sedgwick eyes LatAm growth with new Brazil director

Technology-driven risk solutions provider Sedgwick has appointed Beatriz Cabrera as director of its Brazil operations, which cover several key areas of loss adjusting, including construction, engineering, energy, liability, marine and property.

Sedgwick said Brazil is a key growth market for the company, where it serves customers domestically from offices in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The new hire will position the company to further expand in the Latin American market.

Cabrera has more than a decade of experience in the Brazilian insurance market. She previously served in director-level roles managing legal, claims and administrative teams. Cabrera is said to have conducted analyses on some of the most complex claims in Brazil and Latin America.

Martin Faller, Sedgwick managing director for Brazil, said: “Brazil remains one of Sedgwick’s most important growth markets globally as we continue to expand our capabilities here. We are excited to have Beatriz join our team and lead the ongoing development of our business across the region.

"Our duty is to ensure that all clients, regardless of location, can count on Sedgwick to take care of them; by bringing together robust global capabilities and exceptional local talent like Beatriz, Brazil and all of Latin America will be well served in the short term and long into the future.”

Cabrera said: “I am extremely pleased to be joining the Sedgwick team in Brazil and look forward to supporting the company’s growth strategy. I relish the opportunity to be joining an exceptional organization that provides such a broad spectrum of services across Brazil and Latin America and all around the world.”
