About the firm
Boardroom discipline. Operator instincts.
CommEx Consulting is a boutique commercial transformation firm serving Australian mid-market leaders and the investors who back them.
The founder
Philip Bowler GAICD.
Philip founded CommEx Consulting after two decades leading commercial functions across Asia-Pacific — building sales, marketing and commercial operations disciplines inside multinationals and turning them into repeatable growth engines.
A Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD), he brings boardroom-grade governance to every engagement — pairing operator credibility with the reporting discipline that boards, investors and buyers expect.
Based in Southport, Queensland, working with clients across Australia and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
Mission
Why CommEx exists.
Australia's mid-market is full of ambitious businesses that have out-grown their commercial function. The founders built the first $10M on hustle, relationships and instinct — and now find those same instincts are the ceiling.
CommEx exists to bridge that gap: to bring the discipline, frameworks and boardroom reporting of a much larger business into an owner-led company, without importing the bureaucracy that would suffocate it.
Geography
Australia. Asia-Pacific.
Headquartered in Southport, Queensland. Engagements delivered across Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
