Introducing

Bowman Consulting

My journey in consulting began with a clear vision: to transform supply chains and deliver innovative solutions that drive sustainable growth and success for businesses.

With over two decades of experience, I have been dedicated to pioneering transformative strategies that elevate organizations to new heights. Leveraging my proven track record and a strong network of industry colleagues and experts, I empower enterprises with comprehensive resources and collaborative insights. Together, we provide the essential tools they need to enhance efficiency, reliability, and safety throughout their supply chain operations.

I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, from global corporations to dynamic startups. My extensive experience allows me to implement advanced solutions and tailored strategies that simplify the complexities of supply chain management. Additionally, my in-depth expertise in the chemical sector has equipped me to tackle the unique challenges of this industry, transforming potential obstacles into opportunities for innovation and process optimization. I specialize in intermodal (vessel, rail, truck) supply chain management across various heavily regulated environments, navigating intricate networks of manufacturing, inventory, and terminal locations.

I am deeply passionate about fostering synergy among people, processes, and technologies to create meaningful value for companies facing challenges in these areas. I invite you to connect with me on LinkedIn to follow my professional journey and stay updated on my latest insights and projects!
