Brazil is back on the map for Warburg Pincus, which is putting the finishing touches on a new office in Sao Paolo.
Leading the firm’s invigorated Latin American investment effort from Sao Paulo will be Alain Belda, who joined Warburg in mid-2009 as a managing director. Belda was chief executive officer of aluminium giant Alcoa from 2001 to 2008.
