'''Adam Bowen''' (born 1974/1975) is an American businessman, and the co-founder (with [James Monsees](/source/James_Monsees)) and currently advisor at [Juul Labs](/source/Juul),<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-10-11 |title=The Founders Of Juul Have Largely Disappeared From Public Life |url=https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a45497804/juul-founders-adam-bowen-james-monsees-now/ |access-date=2026-04-28 |website=Women's Health |language=en-US}}</ref> an [electronic cigarette](/source/electronic_cigarette) company.

Bowen earned a BA in physics from [Pomona College](/source/Pomona_College), followed by an MS in product design from [Stanford University](/source/Stanford_University).<ref name="Bloomberg profile">{{cite web |title=Executive Profile: James Monsees |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=571611975&privcapId=542726761&previousCapId=542726761&previousTitle=JUUL%20Labs,%20Inc. |website=Bloomberg LP |accessdate=5 March 2019}}</ref>
