Adam Hartung Biography
Adam Hartung has a substantiated 20-year experience in innovation management, where he has devised and employed strategies that have assisted companies globally to harness business growth through innovation. His far-reaching understanding of emerging trends has been consistently shared through his columns for Forbes.com, claiming the top spot for eight years, as well as his contributions to the quarterly Strategy & Leadership column in CIO Magazine for a span of seven years. Hartung's accurate predictions of the success of industry game changers like Netflix, Amazon.com, Apple, Facebook, and Tesla, coupled with his foresight on the negative impacts these disruptors had on former leaders like Sears, Tribune, and Research in Motion, have been instrumental.
Aside from writing, Hartung's occupational journey encompasses noteworthy leadership roles. Since 2004, he has been CEO and Managing Partner of Spark Partners, a strategy and transformation consultancy. In 2010, he took up the mantle of founding CEO of Soparfilm Energy, a corporation that invested early in fracking for oil and gas production. He also serves as CEO of Content Laboratory, communications for pharma and bio-pharma companies. Hartung has also served on the Board of Directors for several prosperous privately held companies, both in the U.K. and the U.S., including Crosfield Electronics and Benchmark Technologies in the U.K., Biometric Access Corp., and Apex Interactive in the U.S. Applying his deep understanding of strategy and leadership during periods of innovation upheaval, he provides board advisory services.
Hartung, recognized as a Certified Board Leadership Fellow by the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) and a certified financial expert by the SEC, also joined the Board of Advisors of the Global Innovation Institute (GInI) in 2020. As a popular interviewee in the press, his insights about top tech companies and the leaders of the automobile, media, and retail industries are frequently sought. His work has been featured in over 600 journals, including Inc, Adweek, Fortune, and Washington Times, and he has appeared in multiple radio and television interviews. He is the author of "Create Marketplace Disruption: How to Stay Ahead of the Competition." A Harvard Business School MBA graduate with Distinction, Hartung now travels across the globe to give keynotes, lead strategy and innovation management workshops, and coach executives and boards, with the aim to enhance their success trajectories.
