Adam Mullen

My teams and direct reports have gifted me several "Adamism" t-shirts and coffee mugs over the years emblazoned with sayings I drive into their heads and then into the ground. For example: - Alignment comes before Autonomy - Every line of code is technical debt - Be kind to Future You - There's no "Best", only "Least Worst" - Research isn't proof - You have to be willing to be.bad at something if you want to be good at it and of course... - Make your problem smaller [Eat the Elephant] My professional journey spans hands on full stack and system administration, technical and organizational consulting, leadership and strategic execution in software engineering, and entrepreneurial ventures. Currently I focus on maximizing short and mid-term value delivery given resources, competencies, and circumstances...continuously seizing opportunities to enhance the power of those levers. This diverse background has been honed through my expertise in hands on technical consultancy, fintech, marketplace platforms, systems architecture within organizations experiencing exponential revenue-driven growth. I'm grounded by a commitment to sustainable, rational innovation and creating the next generation of tech leaders, I thrive in dynamic environments where collaboration and strategic execution drive success; where there are clear and empirically useful measures for value creation..and if those don't yet exist I create them and teach people how to use them.
