Heather Lunsford is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Bowe Digital and lives in Bargersville, Indiana with her husband and sons. Heather is a proud alumna of Purdue University. We call her our Bowe Digital Wizard of Oz because she communicates with every team member and makes sure we keep all the promises we make to our partners. In other words, she keeps us all in line and “makes it all happen” when it comes to deadlines and deliverables.
The accomplishment she is most proud of is being a momma to her sweet boys, Brooks and Hayes. Prior to joining the Bowe Digital team, Heather spent four years as an educator. Little did she know that time in the classroom was practice for this career endeavor. After all, she’s managed 30 kindergarteners before, meaning keeping a group of hard-working marketing professionals on task should be a picnic, right? Heather enjoys being outdoors, staying active and spending time with friends and family.
