Adam Rubin

I have always been a passionate integrator of strategy, technology and design. In both my professional and personal lives, this braid is ever-present and clearly a defining aspect of my personality. On behalf of my clients, whether a start-up or Fortune 100 member, I am often required to operate as an entrepreneur, problem solver and creative strategist. My work bridges gaps between disciplines and synthesizes complex factors into meaningful experiences, both in and out the digital realm. Clients include: Aviva Insurance, Diageo, Target, Indigo, MIT, Astra Zeneca, United Health Group, AARP, Kraft, Molson, Sobeys, Yellow Pages, among others. Recently, Idea Couture's collaboration with the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University offered me the opportunity to work with business leaders from across the world on various topics regarding Design Thinking in Business. This was a particular highlight in recent months. I also actively speak and provide support for various activities at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto (MBA program), and regularly provide strategic guidance to numerous start-ups. On the personal side, I am a chess addict who loves rapid games as much as long form battles, whether on tables in parks in New York or Toronto, or through my computer against opponents from around the world. I am a formally trained musician (jazz drums and percussion), and I savour the rich experiences of grand concept-compositions, from Pink Floyd to Mahler. I graduated from McGill University where I majored in Information Systems and was recognized with a provincial award for outstanding achievements in my field. I earned a diploma at Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts, and earned an MBA from the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management where I specialized in Strategy. http://twitter.com/amrubin http://ca.linkedin.com/in/adammichaelrubin
