Biography

Jayme Brasil Garfinkel is the largest individual shareholder of Brazilian insurance giant Porto Seguro.

The company, one of the leading auto insurers in Brazil, went public in 2004. Garfinkel was CEO until 2012.

Garfinkel's son Bruno Campos Garfinkel is currently chairman of Porto Seguro's board of directors.
