Adam Kingl
Expert on Intergenerational Strategy & Management Innovation
Adam Kingl is a transformative leadership strategist who maps the shifting friction points between legacy corporate structures and the expectations of a values-driven workforce. As an adjunct professor at UCL School of Management, he identifies why traditional hierarchies often fail to engage Gen Z and Millennial talent. Adam explores the "loyalty gap," demonstrating that the modern quest for purpose-led work is a massive commercial lever for those willing to modernise their cultural DNA. He assists global firms in moving beyond outdated command-and-control models, drawing on the creative arts to help executives build high-trust environments that thrive on transparency.
As a speaker, Adam is intellectually vibrant and deeply relatable, offering a pragmatic roadmap for intergenerational collaboration. He provides the analytical depth required to turn cultural tension into a competitive advantage, ensuring organisations remain relevant to the next generation of both workers and consumers.
