Adam
Salmen
NCA Entrepreneur
I grew up in Colorado and was raised in an entrepreneurial family, working at my father’s computer software business as a child. And while I was offered the reigns of the company when my father wanted to retire, I was only graduating from high school at the time, and not old or experienced enough to take on the challenge.
I pursued an undergraduate degree from the University of Denver in Finance, and continued with a Master’s at Babson College before starting a consulting company, and co-founding a biofuels company in the US. Over the past 15 years I was blessed to have had the opportunity to work in global leadership roles across China, Germany and England for multinational Industrial companies, I am looking to bring these globally acquired skills back to the US and lead a company in the lower middle market.

MY SEARCH
I am looking for a private, well-established industrial or manufacturing type company, possibly facing succession issues, which needs marketing and management for continued growth.
This company will ideally have deep technical knowhow and is in the mountain west region. Ultimately, it’s about finding a company where our values align, and I can see a potential for meaningful impact through our investment and management. Initially, were looking in chemicals, basic materials, and advanced manufacturing.
My Contribution
When you look at my career, you will see that I have a track record of increasing responsibility, most recently holding positions in senior global management positions, and trusted to lead the strategic vision of several $50M+ business units, managing large cross-functional teams, innovation projects, and driving strategy & implementation to grow both top line and bottom-line results.
While it ultimately depends on what the company needs, my experience in Consulting, Marketing, Strategy and Management will be the foundation of my contribution.
