As Co-Head of the Global PE Practice (North American Lead) at TriSearch, Adam provides his clients with a fully-integrated, on-demand search partner with proven capabilities adding talent from the fund level to portfolio company leadership, middle management, and impactful individual contributors.
As the private equity industry evolves (e.g. unspent dry powder, rising cost of borrowing, fewer attractive acquisition targets, roll-ups testing the limits of what a command-and-control leadership structure can accomplish in terms of creating a unified culture and vision), Adam and his team advise their clients on all matters concerning talent and better position their private equity counterparts to truly create value through the personalities and skillsets of the individuals they hire.
Adam has over 20 years of experience in the search industry, having spent a decade at global firm Spencer Stuart (in the Board Practice, Healthcare Practice, and as part of the firm’s founding team in the Dubai office) and at Morgan Samuels, where he was deeply involved in the Private Equity Practice. Adam graduated from Baldwin-Wallace in Berea, OH.
