Strategic leadership hires Novatae Risk Group is expanding its leadership team with hires across finance, operations, and partnerships, signaling an emphasis on scale, governance, and strategic collaboration to support growth in wholesale insurance and broker relationships.

Growth through acquisitions The addition of Ajax Specialty Insurance through an April 2025 acquisition indicates a steady growth strategy via tuck-ins to broaden carrier relationships, product lines, and underwriting capacity within the excess and surplus space.

Broad market positioning Positioned as a national wholesaler and program manager with Empire Underwriters, Novatae operates in the large wholesale ecosystem alongside peers like Burns & Wilcox and CRC Group, suggesting opportunities to engage the firm for national excess and surplus lines programs.

Financial scale signals opportunity With reported revenue in the 25 to 50 million range and a history of executive-level hires, Novatae presents a mid-market growth profile that could benefit from partnerships, technology integrations, and risk analytics collaborations to improve efficiency and margins.

Technology and training focus Utilizing tools such as Tableau, KnowBe4, and enterprise IT platforms, the company demonstrates a focus on data-driven decision making and security awareness, opening avenues for selling advanced analytics, risk management, and compliance solutions to support underwriting and partner programs.
