Adam has spent his life building organizations that solve real problems at scale. At 29, he founded Cornerstone OnDemand from a one-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles with a mission to expand access to education and opportunity through technology. That company grew into a global education technology leader with more than 3,000 employees across 25 countries, serving over 75 million people and delivering more than two billion courses in 192 countries.

His work has also been deeply shaped by service. He served as Chairman of Team Rubicon and helped grow it into a global humanitarian organization with more than 150,000 volunteers. After his family faced the challenge of a child’s life-threatening food allergies, Adam helped build broader support for families nationwide by helping merge organizations that became FARE, now the world’s largest food allergy nonprofit. He also helped build the UCLA Food Allergy Program and launched AllerFund to support innovation in the space.

In civic life, Adam has focused on turning compassion into practical action. In Los Angeles, he founded LA-Tech.org, helped launch the 1,000 Interns Initiative that has created more than 2,000 internships. With Better Angels, he has been tackling homeless and affordable housing to help Angelenos get and stay off the streets.
