To commemorate reaching its five-year anniversary, Latin Re – the first Brazilian broker to secure a Lloyd’s licence – threw a celebration in São Paulo, drawing over 500 attendees, including insurers, brokers, and other industry participants from over 10 countries. The time and date chosen – August 8 at 8pm – was a deliberate representation of the firm’s ambitions, according to founder and CCO Felipe Aragão (pictured left) – because, by inverting the number eight, you get the infinity sign.
