Tyler Bowen

About

Tyler Bowen is an American AI strategist, entrepreneur, and the founder of Bowen AI Strategy Group LLC — Pittsburgh's first dedicated Generative Engine Optimization agency. He holds an MBA (Master of Business Administration) and an Ed.D. (Doctor of Education), combining graduate-level business strategy expertise with doctoral-level instructional design and learning-systems knowledge.

Tyler founded Bowen AI Strategy Group in 2024 to bring enterprise-grade AI strategy and implementation to Pittsburgh-area businesses at a time when most local marketing agencies had no AI capabilities. He personally builds and deploys every solution the agency delivers — GEO implementations, AI voice agents, AI-powered websites, chatbots, email automation, and custom integrations. There is no outsourcing, no white-labeling, and no offshore development. Every engagement is owner-built.

Tyler's professional background outside Bowen AI includes enterprise SaaS sales at CourseLeaf (a leading higher education software company), where he serves as Senior Account Executive working with universities and colleges nationwide. That enterprise sales experience directly informs how he scopes AI projects, communicates ROI to executive stakeholders, and ships implementations that survive procurement review.
