Adam D'Amico is a Technical leadership, early-to-mid-stage startups. Investor and advisor, pre-seed to Series B. at Alumni Ventures. He possess expertise in start ups, cloud computing, mobile devices, security, saas and 27 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Adam has an enviable ability to understand complex systems when given high level overviews. His knack for hearing a 30 second breakdown and immediately calling out potential issues is something that I learned to value greatly. Though the immediate result was being forced to rethink/rework a system (often when it was thought to be complete and whole), it was an opportunity to fix problems before they were ever encountered. That kind of drive to do things properly the first time and to invest the up front effort creates a cycle of preventing fires instead of constantly rushing to put them out.", "Adam brought structure, organization and repeatable patterns to our Ops group at Shape Security. He was able to transform a group of engineers into a true service organization. Adam received a high level of respect from all teams he worked with and was able to achieve tangible transformative change by setting a high bar and hitting the mark with a combination of skill, expertise, and stubborn determination. Adam would be a great asset to an organization looking to level up anything in the realm of infrastructure, operations, or security.", and "I worked with Adam for about three years at Shape. He built several core teams from scratch including Cloud Operations, DevOps and Security. He is a great manager and leader who is very technical, details oriented and hands on. I learned a lot from Adam: how to build the most successful teams, when and how to scale, be time efficient. If you think you have the most compelling and practical solution - go and tell it to Adam, he'll give you recommendations which would help you to re-think it again and make really efficient. Will be great to work with Adam again, I still have many things to learn from him."
