John Baigent—Managing Director

— Transactional Competence Specialist  

John has 20 years’ business consulting experience and is unique in New Zealand for completing 4½ years of advanced study in Transactional Competence. Combined with John’s accounting background, experience as a financial advisor, and his business interests (including as a successful property developer), John’s unique skill set is a competitive advantage for Bowman Associates clients.

John has 20 years’ experience working with business owners—consulting on issues such as:

Business Growth/Improvement

Asset Strategies​

Succession Planning

Transactional Gaps

John’s experiences of transacting in the Construction sector (and the many gaps in transactions observed), inspired him to initiate research, then undertake specialist study and practice in Transactional Competence (via Influence Ecology). John applied this knowledge and experience in his own businesses. In other words, he’s walked the talk.

John says: “Having been in business when the global financial crisis hit, and through the earthquakes in Christchurch, I’m proof of how resourcefulness and the desire to keep learning, can overcome seemingly overwhelming challenges.”

“Every now and again in life, one comes across people who offer wise counsel, are selfless and demonstrate integrity in action. John Baigent is one of those people.”
