São Paulo

Brazil’s economy is set to become the 10th largest in the world and the second largest in the Americas, trailing only the USA. The automotive industry is a major growth driver for the Brazilian economy. In just a few years, Brazil has produced a wide variety of automobile brands, innovative designs and new production facilities. This has made Brazil one of the most progressive automotive markets in the world with passenger cars sales already at three million units a year.

In order to better serve our clients in this vital part of the worldwide automotive industry, Courland Automotive Practice has established an office and joint venture with De Bernt Entschev.

De Bernt Entschev was established in 1986 and is one of Brazil’s fastest growing executive search firms, offering additional services in Assessment, Counseling and Outplacement. It has completed multiple projects for national and foreign companies, and carried out a variety of executive searches for leading OEM, bus, passenger car, truck and motor cycle clients. The firm has three offices (São Paulo, Curitiba and Joinville) with 50 experienced professionals, including consultants, researchers and support staff.
