Yes! You could approach a Professor at a public university here in the U.S. (like the University of Colorado at Denver in Denver, Colorado) who mentors PhD candidates and explain the kind of on-the-job experience you have relevant to the industry in lieu of a Bachelors degree and request a formal recommendation letter to be included in your application to the PhD program. You will need between 10-20 years of professional experience, preferably team leadership. Although I heard most people are rejected anyways for things that can't be covered on-the-job like knowing how to write a proper academic research paper.

Edit: I just remembered that the measure of success in addition to writing a thesis is being able to explain your argument in as much detail as you can in front of panel of experts while answering their questions for at least a couple of hours up to several hours. Something you will likely encounter trying to convince a mentor you're ready for the PhD program.
