Houston-based PCS Software has a new CFO with a recent track record of acquisitions.
Brett Bowman was named to the post in a Sept. 22 announcement.
Bowman succeeds Sunny Moore, who was hired in early 2022. Neither Moore nor PCS disclosed when she left the company, but in June 2023, New York-based Symphony Talent announced that Moore had been appointed as its CFO.
Bowman was most recently CFO of Securonix, a cybersecurity company based in Addison, Texas, north of Dallas. Securonix closed an investment of over $1 billion from Austin-based Vista Equity Partners last year.
Bowman was also CFO of Austin-based Main Street Hub, which was acquired by Arizona-based GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) for $127 million in 2018 and held the same position for Dallas-area company Woot, which is owned by Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN).
PCS manages an artificial intelligence-powered transportation management platform for the inland trucking industry. Bowman is the company’s third C-suite hire in 2023, following the appointments of Ted Pardee in March 2023 as chief revenue officer and Yusuf Ozturk in August 2023 as chief technology officer.
The company acquired New Jersey-based UltraShipTMS in 2020, merging UltraShipTMS’ supply chain management services with its trucking platform to create a single shipper-and-carrier platform.
According to its Crunchbase profile, PCS has raised two undisclosed equity funding rounds, with Miami Beach, Florida-based LNR Partners investing in the latest round in September 2022.
PCS Software's website lists the company’s office in the CityWestPlace campus at 2103 CityWest Blvd. off Beltway 8. The campus is also home to a Houston office of Charlotte, North Carolina-based Honeywell International Inc. (Nasdaq: HON). PCS Software also has listed offices in Paramus, New Jersey, and Vancouver, Washington.
In other recent shakeups in Houston-area technology leadership, Tarek Robbiati stepped down as CFO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (NYSE: HPE) in August after nearly five years with the company, which included HPE’s move to its new CityPlace headquarters campus in Spring. HPE replaced Robbiati with interim CFO Jeremy Cox while the company searches for a replacement.
