“I’ve had the chance to work with Adam in several roles—seeing him lead in the boardroom and 1:1. When a crisis hit, Adam and team got to the root of the issue fast, stopped the pain, and helped us stabilize.

What stood out was how they not only fixed the immediate problem in <30 days but also rebuilt our outlook and performance within 1 quarter. His leadership gave us the confidence to move forward stronger.”

Meet Adam Jorgensen: The Operator Behind Everest

A man with a beard and short hair smiling, wearing a dark blazer and a light blue shirt, speaking on stage with a lapel microphone, making a gesture with his left hand.

Adam’s track record spans nearly two decades of building and leading companies. Starting with his first business in 2007, he went on to build, scale, and guide five companies to successful exits, including a record-setting deal during the COVID downturn.

He has led teams from a bootstrapped startup to a PE-backed scale, steered companies through crises and turnarounds, and created playbooks that deliver results again and again.

Alongside building companies, Adam is a global voice in data, AI, and leadership. He’s the author of 12 bestselling books, a 15+ year Microsoft MVP & Regional Director, and led a worldwide community of 500,000 professionals.

He has delivered 200+ keynotes across the globe and advised executives at Microsoft, Databricks, Intuit, Wells Fargo, the NFL, NBA, MLS, and dozens of PE/VC-backed firms.

Through Everest Partners, he brings his unique blend of operational experience and global expertise to founders, CEOs, and investors who want to scale with confidence, avoid costly mistakes, and deliver lasting outcomes.
