Adam Grunewald

Experienced entrepreneur and technology executive with a deep passion for delivering exceptional customer experiences and building high performing teams. I combine creativity and analytics to guide products from early inception all the way to scalable growth. In 2015 I founded Lynk, which grew into the largest marketplace for home services in Sub-Saharan Africa and was internationally recognized as a best-in-class solution for youth employment and job creation. We've secured investment and partnerships with several of the most prominent venture funds and family offices in the region and work closely with non-governmental organizations like the World Bank and the UN. Our technology platform is used by tens of thousands of households and businesses every month and has been recognized as one of the country's top Applications for design and function. Lynk has achieved triple digit growth every year since inception and and has scaled to a 100+ staff organization. As a leader, I'm inspired every day by the growth and accomplishments of our company, our staff, and the thousands of informal sector workers that make it possible. Earlier in my career I had the opportunity to work across marketing, product management and sales. I launched new products, led international marketing campaigns, and product managed the development of impactful features and brand new products. I attended University in Israel where I earned a degree in in Government and Diplomacy and was the Valedictorian of my graduating class.
