        Adam is an amazing professional, with whom I've had the pleasure and privilege to work with while I was VP of the MTV Brand at South Europe, Middle East And Africa. He's smart, super organised, comfortable in negotiating and interacting at C-Suite level (both internally and externally), has great communications and presentation skills, a deep knowledge of the entertainment industry and a strong understanding of brand values and development and global operations. Plus, he's a 'sunny', positive human being that faces each challenge and frantic situation with a calmness and positivity that is something rare and unique. A precious talent that any company would love to add to their folds! David Booth
