About
Adam has a 20-year track record of delivering public policy outcomes through leading research, stakeholder engagement and winning campaigns. His experience cuts across the healthcare, disability services, agriculture, infrastructure, energy, freight and logistics and housing sectors.
Most recently, Adam led the peak business industry group for the Illawarra region in NSW for 6 years. In this role, Adam tripled the membership, built a new corporate leadership dialogue between industry members and state and federal governments, and fronted numerous advocacy, public relations and media campaigns to resolve complex policy problems – including regulatory challenges that Illawarra businesses faced during the 2019 Australian bushfire season and the 2020-21 global pandemic.
