PLANNING
"I had the privilege of working with Adam for several years when I was VP of Advanced Portfolio Planning, America at gm. Adam is a consummate professional, with an encyclopedic knowledge of the auto business. He is not only proficient in knowledge of vehicles and brands, he also uniquely understands the customer and the inter-relationship between customer needs, vehicle definition and business results. There were several instances when I depended on Adam’s invaluable advice on critical portfolio decisions involving hundreds of millions of dollars. He is a trusted advisor who can be relied on to provide true, objective, fact-based and informed perspectives on any decision.

MARKET RESEARCH
As the auto industry faces yet another cycle of change and disruption, Adam can be counted on to bring his uniquely qualified insights to inform and enlighten. Having worked with Adam for more than a decade, I saw directly the positive impact he had on internal GM clients, including product teams, engineering, design, marketing and executive leadership, through his ability to adeptly synthesize complex competitor strategies, alliances and plans into succinct implications for decision making. Much in demand across GM as a speaker and for his independent voice, his content creation spanned all forms, including in-depth written analyses, topical newsletters, engaging videos and live presentations.
