Financial marketplace and advice company, Compare Club has appointed Kate Browne as its new Head of Research & Insights. 

Kate has almost two decades of experience in the personal finance space as a senior editor, investigative journalist and broadcaster, and most recently Editor-in-Chief at Yahoo Finance Australia. Kate has also been a media spokesperson and consumer advocate in her previous roles with Finder and CHOICE.

The newly created role will see Kate as a public face of the brand, using the business’s data and understanding of the financial challenges households are facing to lead campaigns aiming to helping Australians save money across their household expenses.

Kate said she is very passionate about helping people to save money, and to show them how easy it can be: "As the cost of living crisis hits home for most Aussies, it has never been more important to save money.

"As someone with a mortgage, a young family and skyrocketing bills I really understand the struggle (and the juggle) of trying to keep on top of things financially. But what I've also learned is that a few quick changes can make a huge difference to your budget without it taking too much time or brain power.”
