Gateway Financial Partners Welcomes Robb Combs
In a significant move, Gateway Financial Partners has recently appointed
Robb Combs as its new Director of Business Development. With over
30 years of extensive experience in the financial services sector, Combs has demonstrated a remarkable ability to cultivate advisor relationships and foster strategic growth across a variety of business lines.
Combs’ journey in the financial world began as a
financial producer, soon transitioning to branch management roles. Over the years, he has led distribution efforts for a prominent
New York City-based life insurance company and managed operations for a bank-owned broker-dealer. His last role was as
Senior Vice President within the Custody and Clearing division of
Raymond James, where he worked closely with independent advisors and institutions nationwide for a remarkable
18 years.
In his new position at Gateway, Combs will primarily focus on bolstering the firm's advisor recruitment initiatives, enhancing essential partnerships, and contributing to its ongoing strategic expansion across the nation. His consultative and leadership approach is expected to play a vital role in advancing Gateway’s mission and objectives.
David Wood, the Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of Gateway Financial Partners, expressed his enthusiasm about Combs’ addition, stating, "Robb's deep industry experience and commitment to advisor success align perfectly with our values and vision. His interpersonal skills and understanding of the financial advisory landscape make him an excellent match for our culture. We are thrilled to welcome him aboard."
Combs was particularly attracted to Gateway's solid operational framework, collaborative atmosphere, and the firm’s reputation for being a dynamic and rapidly growing organization. His initial emphasis will be on seamlessly integrating into Gateway’s operations, utilizing his wealth of experience to support advisors, and aligning with the firm's larger strategic goals.
Combs is not only dedicated to his professional life; he is also actively involved in his community. He enjoys coaching youth sports in his spare time and strives to instill the same values he upholds in his career into the lives of young athletes.
Residing in
Glastonbury, Connecticut, with his wife, three children, and family dog, Combs embodies the principles of family and community involvement that Gateway champions. His wealth of knowledge and dedication to excellence in the financial advisory sector poise him to make a significant impact in his new role, further enhancing Gateway's reputation as a leader in the financial services industry.
