Charles Stewart: Employee #1

Charles Stewart pioneered Morgan Stanley’s presence in Brazil in the 1990s; now he is looking out from Latin America, spreading Itaú BBA’s message in Europe and beyond.

In 1996, Charles Stewart left Morgan Stanley’s New York office, where he was an analyst in the M&A department focusing mainly on Latin American M&A, and headed south to Latin America. He opened the Brazil office, quite literally: Stewart was the first person on the ground for the US bank. “I was employee number one,” he says.

During his two spells in the country (1996-99 and 2008-10) Stewart was responsible for growing Morgan Stanley’s brand and business in Brazil.
