Renee Bowman
Renee Bowman is a global CEO turned speaker, coach, and consultant who helps leaders, teams, and businesses reimagine what’s possible - and achieve it.
Known for her bold thinking, commercial focus, and human-first approach, Renee transforms complexity into clarity and ambition into action.
If there’s one word that defines Renee’s career, it’s transformation. Spanning 15 industries across three continents, Renee’s journey has been one of adaptability, versatility, bold reinvention, and a relentless drive to create meaningful impact.
Renee is fascinated by what makes people tick, how businesses thrive (or don’t) and why some teams fire on all cylinders while others fall behind. Across listed companies, private equity, government agencies, startups, and social enterprises, she has seen the patterns that drive success and the pitfalls that derail it. For Renee, it always comes back to leadership: showing that you genuinely care, having the courage to speak the hard truths, and being ruthlessly decisive when it matters most.
She has led organizations through growth, disruption, and reinvention - often in the face of complexity, cultural chaos, or commercial crisis. From IPOs and M&As to executive transitions, turnarounds, and rapid scaling, she has built a reputation as a go-to leader for businesses navigating high-stakes change.
But Renee’s edge goes beyond experience. She leads with clarity, conviction, and candour. She strips away the noise, challenges mediocrity, and brings people with her - aligning teams, reigniting energy, and turning strategy into real results.
What sets Renee apart is her ability to make the hard stuff feel doable - even inspiring. She has coached new CEOs to seamlessly embed with boards, aligned fractured executive teams, rebuilt workplace cultures, and helped leaders thrive through uncertainty and change.
Raised in Melbourne’s west, shaped in New Zealand, sharpened in London, and tested in the boardrooms of Asia and Europe, Renee brings a rare mix of global perspective and grit. Having faced bias, bullying, burnout and boardroom battles, as well as personal loss, imposter syndrome and the hidden battles of mid-life leadership, she has emerged with an unshakable belief in what’s possible when courage meets clarity.
Often underestimated, overlooked, and criticised for being ambitious, direct, and disruptive, Renee has turned those labels into fuel. She challenges the status quo, speaks the unspoken, dreams big, and brings a relentless drive to help others rise with vision, voice, and velocity.
Today, whether speaking on stage, coaching one-on-one, or consulting with executive teams, Renee combines commercial sharpness with radical candour and a deeply human approach. Having walked some hard roads, she now walks with others in their quest to break boundaries, transform and achieve more IMPACT.
