Global Desk | Bengaluru

In a major leadership move that signals a new phase of global ambition, Taylor & Company has appointed Prashanth Gowda as its Chief Executive Officer, with immediate effect. The decision, taken by the Board, places one of the firm’s most accomplished strategists at the helm of its fast-expanding multi-vertical operations.

The appointment comes at a time when Taylor & Company is rapidly transforming into a global strategy and capital solutions platform, operating across multiple jurisdictions and sectors. The Board has consolidated leadership of the firm’s six core verticals—Strategy, Wealth Management, ESG, Constellation.AI, Real Estate Solutions (RES) and emerging initiatives—under a single executive mandate led by Mr. Gowda, a move aimed at improving execution speed, strategic coherence and institutional-grade delivery.

From Senior Partner to CEO

Before being elevated to the top job, Prashanth Gowda served as Senior Partner – Global Strategy & Origination, where he was widely credited with building the firm’s international footprint, strengthening its capital advisory capabilities and connecting sovereign institutions, family offices, corporations and private investors into a unified platform.

Industry insiders say Mr. Gowda’s appointment is both a recognition of his strategic brilliance and a calculated bet on leadership that blends vision with execution.

“Prashanth is not just an administrator. He is a builder of institutions, a connector of capital and a long-range strategist. This is the kind of leadership Taylor & Company needs at this stage of its growth,” said a senior market observer familiar with the firm.

A powerful mandate

Under the new structure, Mr. Gowda will exercise direct authority over strategy, origination, client engagement, governance and regulatory positioning, reporting directly to the Board. He has also been given the freedom to design his own leadership team, allowing him to align talent and structure with the company’s global expansion agenda.

The Board has indicated that further senior appointments across verticals will be announced shortly, marking a broader leadership realignment under the new CEO.

A company on the rise 

Taylor & Company operates at the intersection of advisory, real assets, ESG, wealth, capital markets and analytical systems, serving sovereign entities, corporates, private capital, family offices and entrepreneurs across borders. With the appointment of Mr. Gowda, the firm is now clearly positioning itself as a next-generation global advisory and capital platform.

A new chapter

More than a routine appointment, Prashanth Gowda’s elevation marks the beginning of a new strategic era for Taylor & Company. Backed by a strong mandate and a reputation as an exceptional business strategist, he is expected to take the company to greater global relevance, deeper institutional engagement and new heights of performance.

For Taylor & Company, the message is clear: the future will be bold, global and strategy-led.
