I had worked with Adam Zak on a number of occasions in the past to conduct difficult executive recruiting projects and he never failed to deliver. When we launched a search to identify and recruit our new Vice President, Global Operational Excellence at GIA, Adam was my go-to guy to make this happen. As expected, Adam not only met the challenge, he blew right past our expectations and presented the ideal candidate for this position in less than three weeks. Adam works to a higher personal and professional standard than any other executive recruiter I’ve encountered, and he just simply gets the job done.
