Brooke Hunter founded HUNTERS International Insurance in 2005 because, clearly, there is room for intense attention to risks facing today’s business and community leaders. The Hunter family has been protecting Canadian organizations and their leaders since 1885.
Brooke grew up in Toronto speaking the language of risk and insurance since working summers in the mailroom of Hunter, Rowell Insurance – which she likes to imagine, was not that long ago.
She had the opportunity to build sophisticated risk management and insurance experience working in Vancouver, Hong Kong, Sydney and for the last fourteen years Toronto. Connecting her technical expertise to relationship and business building – before HUNTERS she ran a significant Toronto based insurance brokerage.
Brooke has personal hands-on experience at the boardroom table resolving claims crises and distressed Insurance situations. Her personal experience also extends to being a very tough insurance Client – a view she takes regularly to best serve HUNTERS’ Clients.
With enthusiasm, Brooke has given talks for the likes of the Annual Conference of the Canadian Institute of Corporate Directors, BNN, the Property Casualty Underwriters Society, Women Entrepreneurs of Canada and the Ontario Bar Association. Brooke was an insurance and risk management contributor to the book Joint Ventures, Legal and Business Perspectives by Reiter/Shishler and The E-Policy Handbook by Nancy Flynn.
Active on multiple community boards, Brooke has served on the boards of the Canadian Association of Family Enterprise, St Clement’s School and two private clubs. She currently sits on the board of the Toronto Insurance Conference and The Canadian Mothercraft Society. Brooke is a supporter of the charity Trails Youth Initiatives and is one of the “Women Moving Women”, a national movement created by the Canadian Women’s Foundation to change the face of poverty in Canada.
Brooke’s daughters Ailish Gaynor (6) and Aubrey Gaynor (2) respectively attend Our Lady of Perpetual Help School and Mothercraft Robertson House.
Brooke’s outlet as a consequence of pursuing Art History in University – is collecting more mid 20th century Canadian Art than she has space.

Scott is a Sales Associate at HUNTERS and also guides our sales planning and information management.
Scott grew up in Toronto playing hockey like many other Canadian boys. A potential career in this field eluded him.
After obtaining his Bachelor of Arts at The University of Western Ontario, he followed up with a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Toronto. Scott became a Chartered Accountant, starting his career with Ernst & Young Toronto for three years.
In Prague, Scott worked with Ernst & Young’s Audit Practice for three years. Then through his firm Hunter Lovec, he consulted to Czech companies through the business life cycle – from startup to growth to final exit. He also prepared corporate reporting requirements.
Back in Toronto now, Scott does not fit the accountant stereotype and much prefers entrepreneurial relationships.
A big fan of his son Lukas, Scott is constantly amazed at his intelligence-level which he openly attributes to Lukas’ mother, Veronika.
