Adam knows how to be creative with a purpose. He first seeks to understand the business need, then develops a project to deliver on that need. He knows how to adapt a basic structure, and having come from the client side in CPG, knows how to make sure the project's results can deliver tangible value.

I could only hope that someday I have the chance to work with him again.

Adam has the rare ability to motivate and inspire team members to stretch farther and reach higher. He brings out the best in people. It was my pleasure to have worked with Adam. He is destined for success in the marketplace -- and more importantly, in life.
