MY FACILITATION & TRAINING

When I don't apply myself to strategic projects, I deliver my Strategy-Innovation-Design training. My expertise in facilitating strategy, design thinking, and innovation workshops enriches students at the University of Delaware, where I teach Design Thinking and guide teams toward breakthrough solutions.

MY LEADERSHIP

Leadership thrives on genuine human connections and shared goals. Drawing on five core principles, I cultivate high-performing teams where trust and collaboration transform routine work into energizing achievements. By combining Dan Pink's motivation drivers with Fogg's behavior model, I help individuals unlock their full potential.

"Having worked with Adam for over two years at Inovalon and SameSky Health, I know he is an outstanding Strategic Executive. He has helped our companies create impactful innovation plans that worked for large public companies and startups. His approach to organizing teams around a data-driven design methodology always puts the customer/member/patient at the center. He has adapted this approach across many domains and disciplines to deliver real results. Adam is a positive influence and a driver of change who brings lasting improvement to an organization. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for meaningful Design and Strategy leadership."

"I had the pleasure of reporting to Adam, while he was at GS1. Under Adam’s leadership, the company developed and launched a world-class global Innovation program, including the development of a collaborative idea engine, innovation process, and a community network of industry experts, technologists, researchers, and advisors from around the globe. Leveraging the innovation board that he managed, and crowdsourcing of ideas from the community, he helped incubate innovative concepts and emerging technologies such as VR and IoT. He established the Design Thinking practice for the entire global organization, instilling new critical thinking and creative processes to solve complex industry problems. He evangelized and structured the strategic investments in innovations that helped shape the foundational innovation strategy and roadmap for the business.

He is a natural leader, effective yet compassionate in his approach. With his cool attitude, calm demeanor, and high energy, he is the eternal pragmatist who can distill simplicity in the face of adversity. He is among the best managers and smartest professionals I have ever worked for. I highly recommend him and would be honored to work for him again."

"Adam has had a profound impact on Rightway and his team. When I brought Adam on to lead our UX team at Rightway, he made an immediate and lasting impact, not just on the designers, but on the entire product organization. The team quickly transformed from a reactive, task-driven group into a proactive force in product discovery and user research. In just a few weeks, Adam introduced lightweight, effective processes to gather user feedback, taking us from 0 to 1 almost overnight. Under his leadership, the team significantly improved both the quality and volume of their work.

Adam is the kind of leader who both challenges and supports his team, inspiring them to do their best work. He’s a strong advocate for design’s critical role in product development and strategy. His ability to build trust and foster collaboration across product and engineering made a huge difference in how seamlessly our teams worked together."
