David Bowen Email & Phone Number

I have been fortunate to have a career touching many different industries and roles with global teams in 5 continents. I have lead multi-disciplined engineering teams (mechanical, electrical, chemical, software, and industrial) across the entire span of engineering (NPD, Product, Sustaining, Project, Commissioning, and After-Market Services). I have also had the opportunity to commercialize new products as a Product Manager while also leading and mentoring Product Managers. I have led Quality teams in Manufacturing and Services and served 3 years as a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt where I certified dozens of Black and Green Belts with projects impacting business operations. And finally, I have led Business Operations as an expat with P&L and regional customer responsibility.I thrive in environments that aren't operating in steady state where I can energize teams to reach their highest potential by tirelessly fostering operational excellence, pursuing high quality business impacts, and delivering transformative change. I am known for my ability to organize chaos, translate between technical and business teams, and develop strategies with clear stake-holder alignment.In my career, I've managed over 50 large projects, transformed operational processes from quote to delivery, implemented cost-effective software solutions, consolidated ERP systems, managed a $103 million P&L, and led teams of over 100 professionals. I've co-chaired a network of 47 Engineering Directors, launched more than 10 New Product Development programs, and built teams from idea to full operation.Highlights include resolving a business’s top customer issue leading to $250 million in annual savings, ensuring a $3.5 billion plant could reliably start-up after commissioning, and delighting customers in a $66 million equipment repair business by improving on-time delivery from 33% to 100% in a year.
