Over a 23-year career in large companies and on global projects, I've worked with only a handful of true Project leaders — and Adam is one of them. I was fortunate to work with him at the Red Sea International Film Festival 2025 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where he served as the Project Director for one of the key contractors. Under tight deadlines and constantly shifting requirements, he meticulously delivered on the client's expectations while keeping the team motivated and

I have worked with Adam for over 20 years. Not only is the best Executive Producer / Project Director I have worked with in my entire career, he is also an incredible creative leader and mentor. During my two decade long career, he is usually the first person I go to when I have any significant issue to deal with. Those issues usually get resolved after a pragmatic one to one. It would be hard to find a better events person in arguably the world. -- Jamie Ross-Hulme T: +44 (0
