RIO DE JANEIRO, 08 May 2013  In May, Cooper Gay, one of the world’s foremost reinsurance brokers, will complete 10 years working in the Brazilian market.  “During this period, we have achieved a very successful, solid trajectory, operating in an innovative way and establishing long-standing relationships with our clients, colleagues, and partners,” affirms Fabio Basilone, the company’s CEO.

According to Mr. Basilone, by thinking about reinsurance in a different way, Cooper Gay shortened its path to becoming one of the biggest reinsurance brokers in Brazil.

He adds that, in the face of the challenges presented by a constantly changing market, Cooper Gay chose to hold fast to its philosophy of innovation in its never-ending search for agility in information with transparency and in agreement with the law.  “This is the big difference with Cooper Gay, our identity,” the executive adds.
