He was hired by the Global Chief Operating and Technology Officer, a direct report to the CEO, and tasked with responsibility for data architecture, governance, innovation, visualization, strategy, and regulatory response.

Adam selected the site, conducted the RFP process to identify a strategic partner, and staffed the facility with a mix of FTE hires and consultants per the strategic plan.
