“Adam is a skilled and determined CEO who has spent a lifetime thinking about growth. In this how-to book, Adam combines his deep understanding of the mind of an entrepreneur with sound and practical advice for anyone looking to sell a company. In The Exit Strategy Playbook, Adam shares his stories of buying and selling companies throughout his career and offers clear options for business owners to capture the most value possible as they navigate one of the biggest decisions of their lives.”

— Sandy Ogg, Founder and CEO of Works, former CHRO of Unilever, former operating partner at Blackstone Private Equity

“Adam's earlier book, The Private Equity Playbook, has become the go-to work for the ins and outs of private equity, with tips from the master. The Exit-Strategy Playbook builds on the reader's knowledge, which is critical. Most business owners will sell once in a lifetime, so at the end of the process, they've learned a lot. The key to a successful sale is planning far in advance, but many of our clients come to us late in the process without knowing what they could have done earlier. Adam helps them avoid the pitfalls and maximize their returns by learning the ropes before entering into the ring.”

Just like he did in his first book, he gives exceptional, detailed, actionable advice illuminated by his real-world experiences. Read this book to learn how to sell your business and much more from a great leader.”
