Adam Ahmad co-founded APOGEO Group after 20 years in Learning, Talent, and Leadership Development within the energy, retail, media, pharmaceuticals and utilities sectors. He has held a number of senior positions nationally and internationally; his last role was Head of Corporate Learning for a multi-billion dollar energy company in the Middle East.

Prior to his move to the Middle East. Adam co-founded an HR consultancy in the UK and as a result has facilitated and delivered a broad range of solutions for organisations such as Alghanim Industries, BSkyB, BBC, AstraZeneca, Fresenius Kabi, Tiffany & Co, Liberty and United Utilities.

Adam’s career started in the British military, which he served for a decade and included numerous operational tours and missions in the Middle East, Northern Ireland, and the former Yugoslavia. He attributes the medals and awards he received to the ‘Commando’ ethos he learned there and embodies: be the first to understand, adapt, and overcome. That philosophy and approach continues to serve him and his clients today.

Adam transfers that Understand-Adapt-Overcome philosophy and practice directly into his leadership, presentations, facilitation and coaching, relishing fast paced, multi-dimensional, fluid environments where the operating parameters are continually fluctuating; that’s where he draws upon his knowledge and experience to deliver value to clients.

High performance and results are Adam’s foci. In his last role as the Head of Learning at RasGas (an ExxonMobil/State of Qatar joint venture) his work transformed the learning culture, including major positive shifts in capability development and engagement in addition to large scale cost optimisations.

Adam holds a number of professional qualifications in the fields of human behaviour as well as a variety of physical education certifications for, whilst he is now living in London, he has not left his youthful exploits behind and remains a fitness fanatic, a sports coach and an adventurer.

In 2010 in an instant everything transformed. I stepped into a workshop, a frustrated and unfulfilled Sales Director, I stepped out knowing I had to share what I had experienced there with other leaders and their teams; powerful conversations in a safe space where unexpected, radical transformations in how we relate to ourselves, each other, and to what is possible occur – no holds barred!

Since then I have loved every challenging second of supporting Leaders and C-suite individuals in corporations, start-ups, and projects create breakthrough, purpose-led results from those conversations.

Berlin is home, where you will find me with my husband Todd and my daughter Ines playing life full-out – very often whizzing around on bikes.

An intolerance of others’ suffering and belief that he could help led Alan to spend 16 years as a police officer in Central London. Dealing with complex social problems (the map of crime overlays the map of social deprivation) motivated him.

Encouragement from a senior officer led Alan to a career in leadership learning. In the late '90’s he traded in his warrant card for the world of Learning & Development, earned two Master's degrees, went to work on how to measure social patterns in organizations and address them at a personal level. Since that time Alan's worked both as an external and internal consultant developing leaders from diverse sectors across Europe, the Middle-East and Asia, with an occasional guest appearance in the US.

After more than a decade abroad, Alan returned to the UK in 2020. APOGEO Group provides a new opportunity to address the large-scale issues that have remained at the heart of his career. Einstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them” and 'we’re not going to develop the necessary thinking without time and depth." Alan's ready for the challenge.
