About Adam Drutz
U.S. Head of Sales at Lantern, a high growth AI-native Microsoft ecosystem consultancy. Responsible for executing Lantern\'s go-to-market strategy in support of delivering step change results for our clients.Lantern\'s deep platform and practitioner expertise, combined with enterprise‑grade experience and boutique‑level agility make us special. We translate strategy into outcomes tied to growth, cost, and risk by modernizing structured and unstructured data estates, strengthening secure and compliant foundations, and advancing governance, adoption, and AI capabilities. We connect strategy to execution by elevating how work is designed, built, and delivered across the Microsoft and GitHub ecosystem, creating durable velocity across products, platforms, and processes.Prior to Lantern, served as Avanade global lead for 5 major accounts including 2 in the Fortune 15. Drove $1 Billion+ in combined consulting and managed service sales/revenues over 20-year span in both Avanade and Accenture channels (~$500M+ in each channel) serving clients in the oil & gas, healthcare, manufacturing, utilities sectors.Built Avanade\'s Houston office from the ground-up in 2005, starting with fewer than 5 employees to 250+ people and winning an unprecedented 10-consecutive Annual Houston Chronicle Top Workplace wins from 20••••24.Having started my career delivering complex business solutions underpinned by technology for a Fortune 500 bank, I further refined my delivery and market-relevant skills as a product manager for an award-winning HR software ISV and then moved into the professional services world. In the latter, I have helped build a successful managed services hosting company from the ground-up and have taken all of my previous learnings to Lantern to help our clients lead in their chosen industries/markets.If you are looking at my profile, it is probably for one of these reasons:1. You heard about Lantern and I came up in your search.2. You and I have common connections.3. I looked at your profile to learn more about you.4. You are a leader.What I do: I help large organizations transform and build organizational capability through joint teaming to achieve step change. Based in Houston, I am an avid Formula 1 fan and automobile lover. I give back to the greater Houston community through my Board Member role for Junior Achievement of Southeast Texas and Advisory Board role for Children\'s Museum Houston. I enjoy all types of cuisine. When we speak, ask me why friends sometimes refer to me as an \"asset recovery\" specialist.
