MLBAM manages online activities for Major League Baseball including the MLBAM@Bat video streaming applications for Smartphones, pad computing devices and the like. From 1995–2000, he was ITT's President/Chief Operating Officer. From 1991–95, he was also ITT's CFO.

From 1983–90, Bowman was Michigan's State Treasurer and was widely credited with helping fuel the state's economic recovery, including from a 1987 Public Sector Consultants' profile that "Wall Street smiled on Michigan's improved fiscal condition," leading to national notoriety for Bowman. In 2010 it was reported that he was considering a run for governor of Michigan.
