Ep288 Gabriel Holschneider, XS Global: Reinvesting every dollar to compound growth

Today’s episode is unique because my guest is pretty unique.
Gabriel Holschneider was working as a lawyer 20 years ago when he uncovered a passion for, and an obsession with, captive insurance and started a consultancy and a very small reinsurer with his own money.
Then ten years ago he founded an MGA group called XS Global.
In 2026 that group is the biggest MGA in Latin America, is fully globalising and is set to write over a billion dollars in gross premiums, often from hard-to reach locations or via niche classes that others find difficult to underwrite.
Gabe is a remarkable personality and is building something that is clearly out of the ordinary.
I have interviewed lots of people behind fast-growing MGA groups but none of them quite like this, and that is partly because this is a business that wasn’t born out of the traditional Anglo-US axis, where so many of its peers are to be found.
It’s refreshing and different.
So listen on as Gabe explains the rationale behind the group, the main differentiation points in its modus operandi and where he expects the venture to be heading in the coming years.
It’s a breath of fresh air and I can highly recommend a listen.
