Bio
Hashmat H. Jafferi
I have had the distinct pleasure of having Adrian Ambarus as a fellow cohort at TRIUM. His hands-on approach to innovation and entrepreneurship with the strong personality won him the respect of the cohort. Adrian Ambarus leads by example and many people at TRIUM find his enthusiasm and dedication both inspiring and motivating. Adrian Ambarus showed a high level of leadership and execution skills, significantly contributing to our projects. I would like to think everything I learned about Start-ups, Management Consulting, Marketing Strategy, Entrepreneurship and Competitive Analysis I learned from Adrian Ambarus. I would have no hesitation in working with Adrian Ambarus again in the future.

In 1995 Adrian and I, with three other colleagues, started Global Technologies, Inc. (GTI), a business providing information security solutions by partnering with developers of new and innovative software, hardware and services in this field. Adrian’s natural leadership talents and strong interpersonal skills were critical in developing key marketing and strategic alliances, many of which endured as long-term (10-15 years) corporate partners and enterprise customers. As an emerging leader with no formal business education at the time, he helped create the company’s early-stage business plan. As the business progressed, I saw him learn and grow into a transformational leader as he led our working relationships with customers, vendors, distributors, and creditors. At a very young age, Adrian also demonstrated extraordinary leadership ability when his family fled his native Romania during the brutal Ceausescu regime. Utilizing his natural affinity for languages and strong personal skills, he took the lead in getting his family settled in Chicago, registering himself and his brothers in school and helping his parents to find work and integrate into the community.
