Co-Founder, Valiant Brokers

“I co-founded Valiant alongside Diego Camogli with the goal of transforming how insurance is approached for the Energy, Mining, Technology, and Agriculture sectors. After spending five years working in the London reinsurance market, I returned to Argentina to join the Energy team at Aon Reinsurance.

Later, I acquired this operation as a step toward the merger that led to the founding of Valiant.”
