Gareth Bowkett
Director
Gareth’s career so far has been built on a foundation of operational roles that evolved into strategic oversight.

Gareth has worked in financial services & private wealth for approximately 15-years. His professional journey began in the UK with broad exposure at Lloyds Bank, covering both customer support & risk-oriented functions, before pivoting to the international private wealth sector. A significant period of approximately seven years in Switzerland was dedicated to operational leadership, where he played a key role in running the office in Geneva. This encompassed client relations, training, and day-to-day management.

The current role in the UAE as an Associate Director at Indigo Financial Analysis leverages this background, positioning Gareth as a critical link between the board's strategic vision and the execution by operational teams, including financial advisors and younger paraplanners/business development managers.

Gareth absolutely loves meeting new clients, all with different backgrounds, stories & ambitions.

What We Do

Most firms act as middlemen. They take your request and outsource the execution to a bank, an insurance house, or a third-party agency. Indigo is different. We prioritize building in-house core competencies over outsourcing.

Our independence is our greatest asset. Because we are privately owned, we are not beholden to any specific financial institution. Our loyalty is exclusively to the client.
With a passion for innovation and a commitment to excellence, our leaders inspire and empower our teams to push boundaries and achieve exceptional results.
Key Metrics

Compliance is not optional. We interpret regulation conservatively to safeguard your reputation and ours.
