Adam Emrich is a Software Engineer - Data at Nike. He possess expertise in entrepreneurship, start ups, business strategy, strategy, data analysis and 13 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Adam has an incredible ability to connect business, technology, and society, stemming from his raw, natural talent as a cultural anthropologist. Over the past 4 years as his boss, I have routinely asked him to read some of the most powerful (and in parts quite confusing) books I have ever come across. He is stunningly good at pulling out insights from these books and connecting them to the present moment. In one instance, he read Marshall McLuhan’s 1960’s classic Understanding Media and made sensational links to the present day, ~50 years later! His daily notes using these skills are must-reads for all of us. On top of that, Adam’s tenacious approach has allowed him to take off as a business analyst in recent years, helping him to dig into companies in a wide set of geographies and industries, from Square Enix (the Japanese video game company) to Align Technologies (the makers of Invisalign). Adam’s capacity has proven to be a huge benefit to us in seamlessly integrating our existing array of change patterns into fresh thinking on all sorts of products, skills and tools. On top of all of that, he is just about the kindest individual you might ever hope to meet. I wholeheartedly recommend him."
