About Kelly Bowie

People-focused and results driven Customer Experience and Insights Executive with a proven record of improving customer experience and achieving sustainable business growth across diverse global industries: Insurance, Fintech, SaaS, Logistics, Quick Serve Restaurants, Telecommunications and Automotive.My passion lies at the intersection of customer insights, experience design, and business growth. I thrive on collaborating with enterprise-wide functions to inform go-to-market strategies that improve revenue through increased customer satisfaction, reduced churn and improved loyalty outcomes. Throughout my career, I have led multiple cross-functional initiatives that resulted in significant top and bottom-line growth. As an innovative thought leader, I employ a customer first, “outside-in” approach utilizing surveys, focus groups, Voice of Customer (VOC) research, journey mapping, personas, usability testing and design thinking principles to operationalize customer feedback and implement solutions that enhance product design, improve internal and external processes, and optimize the end-to-end customer experience. I take pride in being a servant leader who motivates and inspires teams by fostering an environment where all team members feel heard, valued, and respected. I focus on team members’ career advancement by cultivating individual skills to encourage personal and professional development.
