Guiding 610 Holdings with strategic clarity, discretion, and long-term value creation
Cal Bowdler
Founder & Principal
Cal Bowdler is the Principal of 610 Holdings, a platform company built on performance, discipline, and long-term value creation. His career spans professional sports, corporate telecommunications, board leadership, and entrepreneurship—each chapter compounding into a rare operating perspective across people, capital, and infrastructure.
​
A former first-round NBA Draft pick, Cal spent over six years as a professional athlete, competing at the highest level and learning firsthand what elite performance, preparation, and accountability demand. He later transitioned into corporate telecommunications at Comcast and Hotwire Communications, where he worked at the intersection of large-scale infrastructure, strategic partnerships, and enterprise execution—experiences that sharpened his ability to operate inside complex organizations and deliver results.
​
Today, Cal leads 610 Holdings and its operating companies, including 610 Media Group, 610 Connectivity Advisory, and The 610 Collective. Through these platforms, he invests in film and television IP and advises developers and property owners on dry-utility strategy, building high-trust relationships among creators, operators, and investors. His work is defined by a hands-on approach, clear judgment, and a bias toward durable outcomes over short-term wins.
​
Cal currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Atlanta Film Society and the Atlanta Chapter of the National Basketball Retired Players Association, where he is Vice President. Across sports, media, infrastructure, and business, he is known for bringing people together, operating calmly under pressure, and building platforms designed to last.
