CPG executive who transitioned from CFO to CEO at Onnit, specializing in driving hyper-growth and operational excellence for category-leading brands like ONE Brands, Amplify Snack Brands, and Onnit.
Travis Bowe has been inside three of the biggest CPG exits of the last decade — and he can tell you exactly what made them happen. As CEO of Onnit, he ran the Austin wellness brand through its integration into Unilever, which acquired it in 2021. Before that, he was VP of Finance & Accounting at ONE Brands when Hershey bought it for $397M, and Controller at Amplify Snack Brands (SkinnyPop, Paqui, Tyrrells, Oatmega) through Hershey’s $1.6B acquisition. He’s seen what acquirers actually diligence, where mid-market brands break under scale, and which numbers move the multiple. For mid-market CPG operators, Travis is the CFO-turned-CEO you bring in when the next stage requires real financial rigor — not a pitch deck. He’s a CPA who built his career in SEC reporting before moving operational, which means he can stress-test your unit economics, fix the gaps that kill deals in diligence, and tell you whether your supply chain, org chart, and gross margin story will hold up to a strategic buyer. He works with founders and executive teams who are past product-market fit and now need the boring infrastructure that turns an 8-figure brand into a 9-figure outcome. How Travis can help: 1. Building financials and reporting that survive a strategic acquirer’s diligence 2. Tightening unit economics and gross margin before a raise or sale process 3. Scaling supplement, food, and wellness supply chains without losing quality control 4. Making the CFO-to-CEO leap — or hiring the right person into either seat 5. Leading the org through acquisition integration with a Fortune 500 parent
