Adam is a writer, creative strategist, and voice actor with a career spanning television and advertising. A former television writer and essayist for the National Lampoon, he later served as a creative director, most notably creating Pepsi’s 2019 Super Bowl commercial, “Is Pepsi OK?”, which grew into a year-long national campaign. His work is known for seamlessly blending humor and creativity to leave a lasting impact on audiences.
He has directed television and radio commercials, helped develop numerous television shows, and was an Emmy-nominated member of The Late Show with David Letterman.
He holds a BS in English and Communication from the University of Miami, where he was a four-year member of the varsity men’s rowing team.
Outside of work, he enjoys skiing, reading, cycling, running, creating watercolors, and spending time with his wife, two children, and his Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, Poppy.
Miles Spencer
Miles is a curious Pittsburgh native who asked a lot of questions and wandered a long way from home. He has spent 30 years mentoring tech founders and 11 years learning the remarkably similar job of being a father.
His career includes helping create more than 1,100 jobs through founding, financing, building, and exiting three digital media companies. Earlier roles include serving as a Venture Principal at Capital Express (Register.com), hosting MoneyHunt on PBS, well before Shark Tank, leading over 1,500 people across 14 miles of open sea by kayak, and trekking 1,100 miles through the deserts of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria, a journey that inspired A Line in the Sand, which became an Amazon bestseller in the Middle East.
After a pandemic-era reset, he is now actively investing in and directly managing teams across digital media, entertainment, and consumer products in Greenwich. When he’s not working, he can often be found painting watercolors with his daughter or playing rugby with his son.
And occasionally, friends are required to interpret his particular version of English.
That’s it, up to now. Learn more about Miles
