Gow-Gates promotes Howard Kaye to head important division

Gow-Gates, a prominent brokerage firm, has recently appointed Howard Kaye to spearhead its rebranded corporate and risk management division. With nearly four decades of experience under his belt, Kaye is well-versed in strategic risk advisory, client management, and mergers and acquisitions. His expertise also extends to managing intricate risk programs for national, multi-national, and publicly listed clients, along with a deep understanding of captives and self-insurance vehicles.

Having spent approximately 27 years at Aon, including his most recent role as a client relationship manager focusing on global and corporate accounts in Sydney, Kaye brings a wealth of knowledge and industry insight to his new position at Gow-Gates. His appointment comes at a crucial time for the brokerage firm, as they continue to expand their corporate division. This growth trend follows the addition of Rebecca Tait in December 2023, based in Melbourne, who will work in tandem with Kaye to oversee national teams and portfolios.

In an effort to further fortify their capabilities, Gow-Gates has reallocated Chris Keeping to a strategic placements and client development role within the division. These strategic adjustments underline the company’s commitment to enhancing their service offerings and solidifying their position in the market.

Established 60 years ago, Gow-Gates boasts a robust local presence complemented by the ability to manage placements on a national and international scale. With office locations in Queensland, NSW, ACT, and Victoria, as well as a team of over 100 expert brokers, the firm is well-equipped to handle a diverse range of client needs across various regions.

As Gow-Gates continues to evolve and adapt to the ever-changing landscape of the insurance industry, the appointment of Howard Kaye to lead their corporate and risk management division signals a significant step towards strengthening their position in the market. With a focus on providing tailored risk solutions and exceptional client service, Kaye’s leadership is poised to drive continued growth and success for the firm in the years to come.
