Bio
Sergio Vilatimo
Adam is one of the brightest and most talented design leaders in our industry. I had the pleasure to work with him at the AKQA NY Offices were we partnered to lead a large scale team for a Fortune 500 client. He guided teams and stakeholders to understand complex scenarios to inform business strategies and design decisions that pushed the projects forward. A natural leader, Adam combines thought, process, vision and business know-how with a personality that instills confidence in his clients and inspires and motivates those around him. I would be thrilled to work with Adam again or catch him on one of his public design talks.

Adam is a thoughtful and strategic product leader who is patient and encouraging towards his reports. He shows a sincere desire to assist in developing the skills and experience of the individuals on his team.

Although Adam was my creative director at AT&T AdWorks, I thought of him more as a mentor and friend. He was detail-oriented, hard working, driven, and had a true passion for what he was doing. He was encouraging and a great boss, and I learned so much from working with him.
