ABOUT ADAM
Twice-exited founder. Former public-company CEO. Mentor to founders who want the same outcome.
Adam has built, bought and sold over a dozen companies across the last 25 years. He has led businesses through crisis and through growth, through boardroom fights and through the deals that changed his family's life.
Along the way he helped dozens of other founders arrive at the same outcome – with client exits totalling over $100m to date.
Exit Mode is where those lessons live now. Frameworks, intelligence, and tools for founders who want to stop running their business like a job and start building it like an asset.
Adam built Exit Mode to share the frameworks that most founders only discover in the middle of a sale – when it's too late to use them properly.

“Adam is the real deal. He's helped me grow my business significantly and I look forward to working with him into the future. The things I value most about Adam are that he challenges me to be my future self, that he focuses on quality time not just clocking hours, that he takes an objective look at our situation and gives me advice from an expert perspective, and that he'll roll up his sleeves and be hands-on when needed.”
