Bowman Consulting restructures leadership and governance

RESTON, Va. - Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: BWMN), a prominent engineering services and program management firm with a market capitalization of $438 million and impressive revenue growth of 22% over the last twelve months, announced significant changes to its leadership structure following the results of its 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which took place on May 24, 2025. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company is currently trading below its Fair Value, suggesting potential upside opportunity. The company disclosed the re-election of Gary Bowman and Stephen Riddick as directors, both set to serve until the 2028 Annual Meeting.

In a notable shift, the Board of Directors has decided to separate the roles of chairman and chief executive officer, a move aimed at reinforcing the company’s governance as it transitions from an emerging growth company. This governance enhancement comes as the company maintains strong financial health, with InvestingPro data showing robust gross profit margins of 52% and a healthy current ratio of 1.25. James Laurito, an independent director since March 2021 and the current chair of the Compensation Committee, has been elected as the new Chair of the Board. Founder Gary Bowman will maintain his position as CEO, focusing on the company’s operational leadership.

Patricia Mulroy has been appointed to succeed Laurito as chair of the Compensation Committee. Stephen Riddick and Raymond Vicks, Jr. will continue in their roles as chairs of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Audit Committee, respectively.

Bowman, expressing confidence in the new structure, remarked on the importance of this governance enhancement as the company looks towards its future growth. Laurito, reflecting on his new role, commended Bowman’s commitment to innovation and governance and expressed enthusiasm for supporting the company’s ongoing success.

Additionally, the stockholders ratified Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. This information, along with further governance details, is available on the company’s investor website.
