Adm Long, Strategist and Consultant, The Ethical CEO

Matt Damon and the Chairman of the World Economic Forum both call themselves fans. Al Gore and Jack Ma wear his socks. Law firms around the world use his software. And companies like Sony Pictures, HP and ANZ bank have been taking his advice for years.

Adam Long doesn’t just talk about business, he rolls up his sleeves and builds them.

As the Executive Director of Conscious Step: Socks That Fight Poverty, Adam launched and scaled an international social enterprise. As Founding CEO of Smarter Drafter (legal software powered by artificial intelligence), he took a groundbreaking piece of technology and turned it into Australia’s fastest growing legal-tech company. And as a Partner at consulting firm Step Change, he advised hundreds of companies around the world on business, growth and marketing strategy.

He even sometimes finds time to speak in public, usually about getting results from marketing and creating impactful social enterprises.

And in case you were wondering, he’s based in Sydney, prefers cats over dogs, and has an unusual interest in cloud spotting.
