Bio
Charlene Suriano
As the Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Bridgepoint Education for 12 years I had the opportunity to watch Adam Forrest’s career grow into the Higher Education Leader he is today. Adam is a servant leader with exceptional business acumen. He has the organizational development ability needed to follow and/or adjust a strategic plan to meet all outcomes. Adam is and will continue to be a success as a Higher Education Leader.
Dr. George Lucas
Adam Forrest is an outstanding leader and an individual who is distinctly motivated to serve the needs of each student, as well as provide sound guidance, support, and valued professional counsel to each member of his team. Adam is truly gifted speaker and overall communicator, and has an inspiring style of leadership that builds confidence, and brings results that consistently meet or exceed critical organizational needs and expectations. He is mission driven, goal-oriented, and demonstrates a rare level of insight and understanding relative to "what makes a person tick" which allows him to excel across the full functional spectrum of organizational leadership and management. Finally, Adam thrives under pressure in a way that I have always admired over the many years I have had the privilege of knowing and working with him. Among his many admirable qualities, his polished and composed attitude, and his ability to "stay the course" when challenges arise are second to none. Bottom line: Adam is someone I have always trusted, who leads with distinction, and who is always there to assist and support in getting the job done.
