TechAssure, an international network of insurance brokers focused on complex and emerging risks, has expanded its Latin American presence with the addition of Vitae Group’s São Paulo brokerage team.
The move is designed to enhance collaboration across the network and support clients operating in markets characterised by innovation, cross-border activity, and increasing risk complexity, according to FF News.
The addition also aligns with TechAssure’s broader strategy of developing strong local representation in key regions. Latin America continues to see rapid economic development and innovation-driven growth, particularly in sectors where risk exposures are becoming more sophisticated and less predictable.
By incorporating firms with on-the-ground insight, the network aims to improve the quality of knowledge-sharing and practical guidance available to its members worldwide.
Vitae Group is recognised for building tailored insurance programmes spanning commercial, specialty, and high-value personal lines. Its approach centres on technical expertise and close working relationships with insurers, allowing it to structure coverage that aligns closely with the individual risk profiles and priorities of its clients. This capability is expected to complement TechAssure’s focus on specialist knowledge across its international membership.
TechAssure executive director Weren De Vliegher said, “Vitae’s São Paulo team brings the kind of on-the-ground insight that elevates the conversations happening across our network. Their work with clients navigating increasingly sophisticated exposures in Brazil adds a practical perspective that will benefit our members globally.”
From a governance perspective, the appointment was also supported by TechAssure’s board. The Baldwin Group private equity cyber leader and chair of TechAssure’s board of directors Emily Short said, “As a Board, we look for firms with depth, discipline, and proven capability in challenging sectors. Vitae’s experience in complex commercial and specialty risks, paired with their disciplined client approach, makes them an excellent addition to our community.”
Vitae Group leadership highlighted the strategic importance of joining the network at a time of accelerating change across the insurance landscape. Vitae Group CEO Julia Queiroz said, “Vitae Group is thrilled to join TechAssure at a pivotal moment for the insurance industry. The complexity of risk is growing across borders and sectors, and our clients rely on us to bring informed, well-grounded solutions to the table. TechAssure’s community gives us direct access to peers who work at that same level, allowing us to strengthen the guidance and coverage strategies we provide every day.”
Managing partner at Vitae Group Marcelo Blanquier also emphasised the value of global market visibility, saying, “Our clients operate in sectors where risk evolves rapidly and often unpredictably. Being part of a global community like TechAssure gives us broader visibility into how those shifts are playing out in different markets. It enables us to benchmark our approach, stay aligned with real market conditions, and remain well-positioned to support clients working at the forefront of innovation.”
TechAssure now consists of more than 37 brokerage teams operating across 20 countries, each selected for their specialist capabilities in serving innovation-driven industries.
