        Adam has been incredibly valuable to us as an advisor. He has helped us strategically think through about how to move the business forward and has made numerous useful introductions. He's always responsive, encouraging, deeply knowledgeable about a variety of verticals, and takes the lead in making sure he is bringing value to our organization. I love working with Adam and cannot recommend him enough to other businesses who are looking to scale. Myra Arshad
