Griffin Horter
Managing Partner, Kaho Partners
We were searching for a board member who could both coach our management team and advise the board on best practices for successful buy-and-builds. We thought it would be difficult to find someone like that — and then we met Adam. He is a true guru who has “been there, done that” when it comes to executing a programmatic M&A strategy. 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.

Orrin Klopper
Founder & CEO, Netsurit
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.

Bennett J. Grove II
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.

Darwin German
Owner, Darwin German Real Estate Investments
Adam outlined the path for accelerated growth for our company. He opened my eyes to opportunities I had not thought of, reinforced my existing plans and motivated me toward a position of rapid and controlled growth well into the future. I loved that Adam said he owns two specific responsibilities for each company he works with: strategy and growth, and corporate culture. The latter was my big ah-ha moment with Adam. He illustrated the critical importance of corporate culture in the long-term success of a company. As a result, I changed the role of one of my top executives who was great at performance but didn’t embody my vision of corporate culture for my company.

Adam has brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to our team. He has guided us through a challenging business acquisition, helped us revamp our operations and showed us the best way to scale.

From the moment I read Adam’s book (The Private Equity Playbook) and saw him speak, I was inspired. Being mentored by Adam has encouraged me to think much more grandly, to step up to the plate and create much bigger relationships that will take everything I do to a whole new scale. I welcome bigger challenges now and embrace opportunities I might otherwise overlook.
