George Bowman
Flood Risk Asset Management Specialist
About Me
With a career spanning flood risk engineering in both the UK and New Zealand, I founded Asset BowManagement Ltd in 2019 to deliver bespoke flood risk asset management solutions to multiple organisations across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Over the past seven years I have worked closely with regional councils and infrastructure owners to develop strategic asset management frameworks, conduct flood risk analyses, and build internal capability. I am a committed member of the asset management community, having served on the Āpōpō Board (2021-2025) and Training Working Group, and as an Ambassador for Engineering New Zealand.
