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.

Our guiding principle at Netsurit is “Supporting the dreams of the doers,” and Adam has certainly done that for us.

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.

Denis Mezheritskiy
President/M&A Advisor – ROI Advisors, Inc
Adam’s fresh perspective and firsthand experience helped me to realign my vision and reinvigorate my business strategies. Before joining The Chairman Group, I thought doing this myself was the only way, but that approach is destined to fall short. I learned this the hard way when I faced volatile revenues and stagnant growth. That’s where Adam came in. In just two sentences, he summarized my top weaknesses and offered solutions. The insight I received right then was a game-changer. I knew that joining The Chairman Group would never be a cost but an investment that would yield results.
