How Adam is building a better working world

Having arrived at EY after nearly a decade in government, Adam believes that business can be a constructive force in tackling global challenges. But that role can no longer be seen as a side effort or marketing opportunity — it’s a fundamental responsibility.

At EY, Adam’s research has focused on understanding how companies embed their purpose — their aspirational, human-first reason for being — into long-term strategy and decision-making.

The organizations best positioned to thrive in the long term are willing to sacrifice profit and growth, especially in the short term, to live their purpose and values authentically. Adam aims to support and challenge business leaders determined to do more good and less harm. After all, if we’re not willing to make sacrifices to do the right thing, why are we here?
