After graduating from Regent's Park College, Oxford University with a degree in Theology, Adam has spent over a decade in senior leadership roles across the not-for-profit sector. His career has encompassed charity leadership, income generation, and organisational development, with a consistent focus on values-led growth and sustainable impact.

Before joining Charisma, Adam served as Director of Development for Sailors' Society, where he oversaw the organisation's global commercial, retail, and fundraising operations, supporting programmes across Asia, Africa, and North America. He was previously Chief Executive of The Source Young People's Charity, where he successfully diversified income generation away from local authority contracts and introduced new social enterprise models, including a thriving community bike business.

Earlier in his career, Adam was Minister of Surbiton New Life Baptist Church, beginning an 18-year vocation as a Baptist minister.

As Chief Executive of Charisma, Adam leads the company's strategic direction, partnerships, and growth. He works closely with boards and senior leaders to identify exceptional talent for CEO, senior leadership, and trustee appointments, ensuring alignment between personal values and organisational mission.

Adam has also served as a trustee and volunteer for several non-profit organisations, including an international mission agency. Currently he is the Club Welfare Officer for a grassroots youth football club with over 700 players on their books.

Based in Hampshire, Adam coaches youth football and cricket, and holds season tickets at Eastleigh FC and Hampshire Cricket. Despite this local loyalty, he remains a long-suffering Sheffield United fan! He enjoys time with his family, training in his home gym, and attracting as many birds as possible to his garden feeders.
