Adam's career as an investor has taken him all over the world, and his experiences investing in public and private businesses across multiple geographies and sectors have coalesced into an investment philosophy that Adam applies at Ridge Road.

While at TPG-Axon, Adam made significant investments in both public and private companies across a wide range of industries and countries. Before TPG-Axon, Adam worked for Soros Fund Management as a public and private market investor, reporting directly to Soros' Chief Investment Officer at the time.
