But more than that, Adam is accessible, knowledgeable, down to earth and a fantastic sounding board. He is an active participant on our board who rolls up his sleeves to help us get things done.

For instance, a few months into our relationship, we collaborated on an acquisition Adam had identified, and it has been a game changer for our firm. If you are blessed enough to have Adam choose to support you on your journey, don’t hesitate to act.

Our guiding principle at Netsurit is “Supporting the dreams of the doers,” and Adam has certainly done that for us. Among his many valuable contributions, he has helped us define the pillars of our strategy, take our macro strategic thinking to a new level and understand the talent-to-value approach. Beyond his incredible experience and knowledge, though, he is an insanely responsive professional with an incredible service orientation.

Founder & CEO, Fire Dawgs Inc.
Adam’s experience leading and driving the growth of companies speaks for itself, so when you have the opportunity to learn from an experienced leader and businessman with his track record, you listen. That alone has been incredibly rewarding. It has opened doors for me and my business, both from a mindset perspective and in terms of opportunities for business growth. Even before I met Adam, I got fired up reading his bestselling books, The Private Equity Playbook and The Exit Strategy Playbook. He so clearly lays out a framework that is easy to understand, even though the subject matter is complex. It changes the paradigm and the way you think. After reading his books, I wanted to learn more and was excited when I discovered he also does seminars, advising and consulting.
