Early Life
Jorge Neval Moll Filho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on January 23, 1946. Details of his early life are limited, but he developed an early interest in medicine. He attended the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, earning a degree in medicine, and specialized in cardiology.
Rise to Success
Moll's career began in 1977 when he started acquiring clinics and laboratories in Rio de Janeiro at the age of 33. He established the Cardiolab diagnostic clinic group, which brought him significant financial success. In 1994, he acquired the former Copa D'Or hotel in Copacabana and transformed it into a private hospital. He expanded further in 1998 with the acquisition of a hotel in Barra da Tijuca, which became the Barra D'Or hospital. In 2014, Moll became a billionaire due to his ownership of a majority of the medical facilities in Rio de Janeiro. The acquisition of the rival healthcare group Sao Luiz in 2015 significantly expanded his healthcare empire.
Key Business Strategies
Moll's key strategies involved consolidating clinics and labs to transform the healthcare sector. His early acquisitions and the establishment of the Cardiolab group set the stage for his growth. Converting hotels into hospitals and expanding into different cities were crucial moves. Rede D'Or's IPO in December 2020 marked a significant achievement, becoming one of Brazil's largest health sector listings.
Philanthropy
The Moll family has committed to donating a portion of its liquidity events to the Instituto D'Or (IDOR), a research center, aiming to double IDOR's budget to R$ 1 billion over ten years. This commitment underscores a dedication to scientific research and advancement in the healthcare field.
