ACJ Advisors

Adam was brought into Concur to build our global Premium Services organization from the ground up. In a short period, he scaled the team to over 1,000 employees across three continents and drove more than $100 million in recurring revenue. But beyond the numbers, what stood out was his ability to bring clarity, alignment, and velocity to complex challenges—something that many organizations struggle with as they scale.
 
Adam has a rare combination of strategic vision and operational discipline. He can take an abstract opportunity or idea and quickly break it down into actionable plans with measurable outcomes. More importantly for CEOs, Adam understands the pressures and mental demands of leading high-growth, high-performance teams. His insights are not theoretical —they’re forged from deep experience and real results.
 
If you’re a CEO looking to sharpen your leadership edge, accelerate team performance, or unlock strategic clarity, Adam brings both the executive credibility and coaching mindset to make a real difference. I trust him completely and would work with him again in a heartbeat.

As an executive leader at Kastle, Adam brought out the best in everyone around him. He had a unique way of giving feedback that was practical, relevant, and easy to put into action. During the time we worked together, he led the most successful business unit in the country which is a testament to his ability to combine strategic discipline with genuine leadership.
 
We had clear business metrics and a strong plan in place, but Adam was always nimble enough to adjust on the fly when conditions changed. He never relied on micromanagement or command-and-control tactics; instead, he listened carefully, valued diverse perspectives, and helped shape long-term strategies that strengthened both our results and our culture.
 
Our business experienced its greatest growth during his tenure, and I’m fortunate to now call him both a mentor and a close friend.

I had the privilege of being led and mentored by Adam during my time at SAP Concur, where he played a pivotal role in my growth from a first-time manager to a director. Over just three and a half years, my scope expanded from leading a small team of three to overseeing more than 300 international employees across multiple cost centers – a leap I would not have made successfully without Adam’s mentorship.
 
He not only equipped me with the business acumen and strategic perspective required to scale a complex global organization but also served as a true role model of integrity, energy, and growth-oriented leadership. Adam leads with purpose and authenticity, always challenging those around him to think bigger, move faster, and lead with empathy.
 
Any leader who is looking to grow sustainably, build high-performing teams, and ask the right questions to accelerate their impact would be fortunate to be coached by Adam.

I’ve known Adam for several years, and he’s been an incredible mentor, connector, and coach. From when we first met during a capital raise, his high energy, pragmatism, and growth mindset immediately stood out.
 
Adam doesn’t just connect you with people – he helps you think bigger, refine your ideas, and stay grounded in execution. He’s a true operator who knows how to turn strategy into action, and his advice is always rooted in real-world experience.
 
What I appreciate most is how he balances insight, empathy, and authenticity all with a calm demeanor. He pushes, supports, and holds you accountable – all with genuine care. If you ever get the chance to work with Adam, you’ll quickly feel how impactful he is.

I have had the privilege of collaborating with Adam for over 20 years. As a CEO, he consistently demonstrated focus, curiosity, and a strong commitment to deploying resources efficiently to scale the business in challenging conditions.
 
Adam combines strategic discipline, exceptional leadership skills, and an entrepreneurial mindset that resulted in successful outcomes. As a coach, he has much to offer any leadership team seeking to drive sustained growth and profitability.

Highly recommend Adam as a mentor and coach. He drives for performance and is an empathetic and high-energy leader who brings out the best from the people he engages with.
 
Adam’s mentorship was pivotal in my development as a leader on the path to becoming an executive. He’s patient and kind – while encouraging creative problem solving and never losing sight of the results that matter.
 
Most importantly, he taught me how valuable lessons about quieting the noise and prioritizing what matters – skills that have paid dividends over the course of my career since we last worked together. I continue to count on his counsel and friendship, and would certainly recommend him to others.

I can’t imagine not having Adam Joseph in our corner. In so many ways over the years, he has helped our company SI Restoration to improve and evolve our leadership structure, focus on profitable growth opportunities, and thoughtfully reinvest in our business. As a closely held family business, it is helpful to have an independent voice provide us perspective on tough decisions.
 
What I appreciate the most is his unassuming demeanor and approach. Adam asks good, thought-provoking questions, listens carefully then coaches. Furthermore, Adam’s guidance comes from real business experience, not adages from a business book.
 
We would not be where we are today without him. Any company would be fortunate to have Adam Joseph and ACJ Advisors on their team.
