About Gerald Adler

C-suite business leader and business counselor with proven experience driving successful global operations. I quickly analyze complex circumstances, identify opportunity, and deftly structure and negotiate win-win resolutions. I apply my expertise in risk evaluation, consensus-building and deal closure. I lead through ambiguity and change, marshaling subject-matter talent, formulating solutions, and directing the precision execution of multiple work streams. • Strategic Steering/Closure of Complex Negotiations. I utilize legal, analytical and organizational expertise to recommend and realize profitable partnership agreements, including the successful structuring of a novel phantom equity plan between the firm and a third-party consultant. I consistently champion and deliver key initiatives significantly building value for the enterprise. I facilitated two highly successful fund raises which created new key limited partners. I strengthen the merger and acquisition and restructuring strategy, develop stakeholder relationships, and successfully structure intricate transactions. • Operational Transformation. I identify opportunities for transformative change and lead the enterprise to implement, incorporate the innovation, and to realize the efficiency and savings. I eliminated ongoing IT system disruptions by championing a transformative move to a cloud-based state-of the-art operation, driving the conversion and realizing efficiency and substantial ongoing annual savings. • International Regulatory Compliance and Corporate Governance. I have an exceptional ability to navigate the intricacies of SEC regulation. In response to changing requirements, I designed and implemented a web-based compliance system, earned credibility and trust with investors and outside auditors. • Global Leadership Effectiveness. I operate and negotiate successfully in complex global business and government regulatory environments. I am effective at engaging and managing in the corporate board room and with investor partners, as well as with administrative staff. I am adept at identifying and acquiring the talent to implement and execute projects. I am recognized for the ability to drive multiple large-scale projects and execute with timeliness and successful financial results.
