About Thomas Adamec

Senior financial executive and expert business strategist with a proven track record spanning 30 years. Extensive experience with technology companies, multi-state service companies, manufacturing companies, extensive buy-side and sell-side M&A experience (over 70 transactions topping $1.85B), plus private equity backed ventures. I approach companies with an offensive mindset, developing strategic plans that capitalize on their core operating strengths and leverage existing sales channels. These plans enhance sales performance and streamline back office operations, leading to increased efficiency. This transformative approach propels the organization forward and is sustained by mentoring management, leveraging technology, and cultivating a robust corporate culture centered around positive attitudes, character, and hard work. Being a metrics-focused leader, I insert structure and discipline around monthly processes, develop realistic action plans with a system of accountability, and challenge management to continuously make improvements and eliminate waste. This formula has repeatedly brought me success in maximizing shareholder value for early stage through large public and private companies, ultimately positioning the companies for exit.My broad experience spans accounting and treasury operations, budgeting, process/workflow re-engineering, business start-up planning, SEC reporting, long-term strategic planning, financial systems selection and implementation, capital campaigns, investor relations, mergers and acquisitions, and turn-around and restructuring. My specialties include strong transition management, strategic planning, and financial modeling. I have consistently aligned finance functions and developed personnel to support operational and strategic objectives, especially during periods of transition. The formula is simple. When you do the right things, the right things happen.In my personal time, I enjoy supporting the arts. I\'ve been a musician since childhood and music still offers an escape from the grind of daily life. I also spend as much time as possible outdoors whether it be golfing, fishing, or something as simple as mowing the lawn.
