As the first graduate from the Asper School of Business with a focus on Indigenous Business and Economics. Adam has positioned himself as a thought leader in creating sustainable, inclusive solutions that align with the TRC’s Calls to Action that empowers the leaders he works with to not only respond to these challenges but to champion meaningful change within their organizations. His forward-thinking leadership and approach to economic development have led to award-winning business strategies.

His extensive career includes strategic guidance in his role as Vice Chair of the Indigenous Chamber of Commerce, where he advises on human resource and organizational development with a lens of inclusivity and long-term growth. His work with the Young Associates, a group focused on developing emerging youth leaders, demonstrates his commitment to fostering economic advancement across Manitoba.

Whether offering workshops, reviewing internal practices, or facilitating candid conversations, I strive to create space for meaningful progress — not just performative action.
