About Me

Mission Statement
I'm a Chief of Staff and Smart Generalist with a background in Strategic Communications. As an advocate (and walking, talking case study) for the power of mid-career changes, I believe a combination of leader-servitude, distinct indistinctiveness, and history of career zig-zagging is a compelling value proposition for both individuals and the organisations they work for. Last year I seconded to the campaign trail to work as a Chief of Staff & Campaign Manager for the General Election. More on this later..Community Engagement
I am an active member of various professional communities, including the Chief of Staff Association, The Chief of Staff Collective, Voray’s Chief of Staff Collective, and Primary Venture Capital's Chief of Staff Mastermind Network(Note: for 'active member', read: 'turns up to the opening of an envelope if there are Hors d'oeuvres.')I have co-authored a blog called Chief of Staff Monthly with Oliver Belanger, former Chief of Staff at Merit. This features a monthly roundup of happenings from the world's largest Chief of Staff podcast, Chief of Staff Hour.Let's Connect

Meet CAYR. We're already bringing some transformative programs to the communities we work with, and have bigger plans to provide arts access to underserved communities.The Other Stuff
Apart from my professional stuff, I hold a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) and a Masters. I volunteer for a few organisations (but don't like to talk about it), hold a Diploma in Corporate Governance, and am a Level 3 qualified Personal Trainer. Oh - and I sometimes DJ, but that's a story for another time.Adam (-or just 'Rumke' to friends, superiors, SEO Managers)Back to contact
