London, 18 November 2025 – Oneglobal Brasil, the Brazilian arm of international insurance and reinsurance broker Oneglobal Broking Limited, controlled by J.C. Flowers & Co, announces the acquisition of Proativa Benefits Consulting, a brokerage specialising in corporate benefits management. This transaction positions Oneglobal to offer clients a comprehensive range of corporate risk protection, from large-risk solutions to life and pension benefits.
The deal stems from strong expansion synergies: two fast-growing brokerages with aligned culture and strategic vision, and a clear plan to increase revenue through cross-selling and new client acquisition, thanks to a more complete product portfolio. Together, Oneglobal and Proativa will have a diversified and highly loyal client base, supported by a team of nearly 150 professionals recognised for their consultative approach and client-centric service.
Proativa was founded in 2019 by Michel Wajs, an executive from the technology sector, and Roberto Sturm, an experienced insurance professional, with investment from the founding partners of Hix Capital through a proprietary vehicle. Both founders will remain actively involved in the business, sharing the common goal of driving growth.
The leadership teams of Oneglobal Brasil and Proativa believe that the sector context, with clients across industrial, pharmaceutical, financial, services and energy segments in different regions of Brazil, will broaden the team’s technical and analytical capabilities.
See below what the leaders of Oneglobal Brasil and Proativa said about the transaction:
“The arrival of Proativa marks a decisive step in our strategy to deliver complete and integrated solutions to clients. We will combine Oneglobal’s technical depth in large risks with Proativa’s consultative excellence in benefits, in a move guided by strong cultural alignment and entrepreneurial spirit. This combination strengthens our vision for the future and creates immediate commercial opportunities across both portfolios”
Luis Cardoso, CEO of Oneglobal Holdings Brasil
“Oneglobal Brasil and Proativa share a trajectory of rapid growth. Now, the complementarity of our operations will open many opportunities to expand sales to existing clients. Our expectation is to triple the volume of premiums across both businesses, which currently stands at nearly BRL 1 billion”
Leonardo Dale, CEO of Oneglobal Seguros
“We are delighted to join forces with Oneglobal. This partnership enhances our ability to deliver excellent services and invest in technology, while maintaining our DNA of client proximity and strengthening our brand at a global level”
Roberto Sturm, Partner and Vice-President of Commercial at Proativa
We entered this transaction with clear principles: to preserve our legacy with clients and our team, and to expand our delivery capacity. We have experienced M&A processes before and learned what works. Here we found rare growth synergy — same culture, same vision and the same technical rigour"
