Abi Bowman
Strategic Adviser | Chief Strategy Officer

EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST
With over two decades' experience in the Media and Entertainment industries across the UK, Europe, US & APAC, I have consistently delivered results at the intersection of technology innovation and business growth. I have built in-depth knowledge of emerging technologies, while maintaining a sharp focus on practical business applications, implementation, funding and ROI.
After several exec-level roles, I now support businesses and institutions to deliver their goals, through strategic advice, new partnerships and programme development.
Working closely with an organisation's senior management, staff and stakeholders, I provide expert guidance on business planning, helping to develop and deliver strategies that align with their vision and goals.
