ABOUT ADAM SCHARFER
Hi, I’m Adam—and despite what my résumé says, I’m not in “sales.” Let’s face it: for many organizations, “sales” is a four(ish)-letter word. But business IS personal, and your technology offering deserves an authentic approach rather than an outdated playbook.I’m a hands-on, high-energy business development and delivery leader with 20+ years of experience across enterprise software integration (IBM Maximo, Tririga, SaaS platforms), cross-functional team leadership, and P&L ownership. I’ve spearheaded multi-million-dollar engagements while driving consistent YOY growth and bridging the gap between tech capabilities and real-world ROI.
