Steven Bowen
Maine Pointe
Excellence in Influence
There were two significant mile- stones for Steven Bowen over the last 12 months. One was
publishing the book Total Value Optimization: Transforming your global
supply chain into a competitive weapon! and two was reaching $100 million in booked revenue in 2018. All in
all, a pretty good year for Bowen, the
Founder, Chairman & CEO of Maine
Pointe, which he founded in August
2004 and has seen “grow into a place
where our people can thrive in their
work with our clients creating value
for all involved,” he says.
Ask him for career accomplishments
and he’ll point to the firm’s founding,
as well the creation of “Total Value Optimization” (TVO) and striving “to turn
TVO into the next Lean or Six Sigma of
the global supply chain, with five levels
of certification.” He’ll also say thirty-three years of being happily married to
his wife and his two independently successful grown children.
With more than 30 years of P&L
experience, including turnarounds and
high-growth businesses with revenues
up to $100 million, Bowen has acquired
an exceptional track record in supply
chain optimization as well as lean and
demand-pull global environments. His
approach to leadership is informed by
his previous work with leading Fortune
1000 and middle-market organizations
and numerous private equity clients.
He is regarded for his ability to
quickly transform organization vision
and mission into exceptional team performance. Bowen’s leadership expertise
includes the design and building of innovative customer-centric relationship and
service delivery systems, collaborative
leadership frameworks, profitability-driven management and compensation
models, and recruitment initiatives that
attract best-of-class specialized manag-ers, advisors, and directors.
“The continuous learning experi-
ence is what the business is all about,”
he says. “From dealing with different
leaders, industries and business situa-
tions from hugely successful to those
in bankruptcy. In advancing one’s own
and our clients’ knowledge, skills and
willingness to find a way to succeed at
a greater level.”
The biggest factor to his success is
routed in living with purpose and oper-
ating every day, and in every way, with
commitment to core values; having a
vision to be the most “sought-after”
supply chain and operations implemen-
tation focused consulting firm, rather
than simply the largest. “The most im-
portant factor to success is our team.
The people, their talents, knowledge
and skills going far beyond any reach I
truly imagined, thank you to all of them
for being part of this journey.”
Bowen: To me, it is humbling, so many people have worked so hard and
smartly to make this even remotely a possibility, it is a tribute to every
person who is connected to Maine Pointe. As a growing company in
consulting it certainly adds significant credibility to what and how Maine
Pointe is approaching and developing our business. To clients, credibility,
trust, and a level of recognition that their investment into “Total Value
Optimization,” is an investment into leading through development
of their global supply chains into being a competitive weapon!
