G Gordon Cowan's Linkedin Analytics

EXPERIENCE: With over 30 years of experience in various industries, a seasoned and successful entrepreneur, business leader, and ex PLC board member. My core expertise includes M&A, business growth, new business development, strategic account management, and corporate deal structuring and closing. CURRENT FOCUS: At Bowmore Capital Partners, we provide client management and compliance services to family offices, corporate financiers and funders in Europe, facilitating significant funding models for world-class projects across an ever changing and challenging global marketplace. Bowmore provides senior debt through 'Asset Enhance' - collateral from Family Offices with an institutional line of credit attached, we also have a Bowmore 'Corporate', a more traditional debt & equity offering and are looking to introduce a new 'Hedge Fund' in 2024 based in the Isle of Man for an exclusive set of investors. WHO I AM: I am a passionate fire starter and value the daily opportunity of making a difference in the world, supporting community projects, empowering women where I can, and building healthcare and schools in developing countries. VALUES: I value transparency, integrity, and trust in business, building partnerships and collaborations with people that are aligned with my values and don't suffer individuals who believe they have to be the smartest person in the room. BELIEFS: Business is built on people and relationships. Being honest with people is key to building anything. Everyone has the chance to be the 'Best Version' of themselves, no matter who you are. The quote 'Nothing is more important than money' will help you decide where your priorities lies when you realise that you can't take it with you. Being spiritual is not weakness, being self sufficient and an island is a weakness and all the people with the big money that I know, will tell you the same. Not being plugged in beyond looking in the mirror and thinking you are all there is each morning, misses the point of life in all it's fullness and weakens your soul. Two important dates in your life. 1. Day you are born and 2. The day you discover the reason why? THE FUTURE: I am a passionate believer that my best years are always ahead of me and what I do daily should reflect that purpose. Rarely admit it but the Mario Andretti quote that I subconsciously live by is, 'WHEN THINGS SEEMS UNDER CONTROL, YOU ARE JUST NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH'!
