Adam Pritzker is a serial #entrepreneur, #venture-capitalist, and chief executive officer of @Assembled Brands, a holding company that provides working capital, business insights, and services to manufactured consumer brands. He co-founded General Assembly, a professional development school, where he served as chairman until its acquisition by The Adecco Group for $413 million in 2018. Pritzker was recognized by Vanity Fair as part of its “Next Establishment” list and by Fast Company among the “Most Creative People in Business.” He also co-founded the non-profit @Future Now, which focuses on strengthening state legislatures to advance policies benefiting the public. Pritzker earned a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Economics from Columbia University, where he is a member of the President’s Council. He belongs to the @Pritzker Family, one of the most prominent and wealthy families in the United States, known for its extensive entrepreneurial and philanthropic endeavors. I know of and met Adam through @John Zdanowski who was CFO at General Assembly and, later, Managing Partner at @Assembled Brands. In John and I's conversations exploring the future of @Spiritual Bro, John often shares Adam’s wisdom; one of my favorites is his @100 Year Philosophy.
