Bio
Brook Rutherford
Adam Zammit is a one of a kind, old school entrepreneur and impresario. He is a highly creative thinker and strategist, with a very even balance between his creativity and analytical skills. He was a fabulous CEO when I worked for him on the Big Day Out and various other commercial entertainment properties. He demonstrated great emotional intelligence, was supportive of me and his whole team, was challenging us and his leadership was clear, strong and cool under pressure. He is charismatic, very funny and clients and colleagues just like being around him.
