He was hired by a large public company to develop a plan for a new business unit in the healthcare space. Senior management valued this work and ultimately hired him full-time. Through networking, Adam became familiar with executives of the investment bank that his company worked with. It wasn’t long before they too saw his talents and offered him a job. He stayed in the investment banking industry for years before moving on to a role in private equity.
