About Adam
As Chief Executive Officer of Focus Partners Wealth and Focus Partners Advisor Solutions, Adam Birenbaum provides the dedicated, strategic leadership critical to advancing the organizations’ positions as leading financial firms in the United States.
Early on in his professional life, Adam followed his interest in finance to a job focused on valuation, transactions and restructurings. While he loved the world of finance, he felt he was missing a bigger opportunity to connect with and bring value to the lives of others in a more meaningful way. Returning to St. Louis to attend law school, Adam found his dream job was right in his own backyard.
As CEO, Adam leads strategic planning and initiatives across the entire organization, continuously evolving and improving its approach to attracting top talent, building robust infrastructure and delivering an unrivaled client experience. Specifically for Focus Partners, his keen eye for succession and growth has helped create deep wealth management teams capable of supporting clients now and for generations to come, as well as expand its size and depth of client experience through a combination of organic and acquisition-based growth strategies. The combination of these efforts has enabled Focus Partners Wealth to become one of the largest Registered Investment Advisor firms in the country.
His enthusiasm for helping clients achieve their most important goals extends beyond the boardroom. Adam serves on the financial and investment committee for several nonprofit organizations and is a past member of Fidelity’s Advisor Council. He's also active with the St. Louis Chapter of Young Presidents' Organization (YPO). Throughout his career, Adam has been honored as the recipient of a variety of awards as well as industry recognition.
Adam is a graduate of Vanderbilt University and St. Louis University School of Law. He is an avid sports fan, an active collector of sports memorabilia and a lover of movies. He and his wife, a pediatrician, have three wonderful children — two daughters and a son.
