MIAMI - Marylandian -- CEO Coaching International®, the leading firm for coaching growth-focused CEOs and entrepreneurs globally, is pleased to announce Kevin Adams as its newest Partner and Coach.

Adams is a highly successful business leader with extensive expertise in achieving rapid growth, profits, and shareholder value. He has a broad, deep understanding of the fast-paced consumer products industry with specialization in food, nutritional supplements, and skincare, as well as specific expertise in direct-to-consumer, e-commerce, and traditional retail distribution channels. His experience includes leadership roles in publicly held, private equity-backed, and family-founded businesses, including Isagenix, ConAgra Brands, International Home Foods, and Stella Foods.

As CEO of Isagenix, Adams built the brand and popularized intermittent fasting for weight loss. He led rapid growth as sales and EBITDA tripled organically in 3.5 years.

While serving as EVP at Fortune 40 food marketer & distributor ConAgra Brands, Adams led the transformation from a holding company to an operating company and was subsequently responsible for many of the shared services to support the company's branded growth strategy. He also led the largest (at the time) massively complex SAP implementation with a focus on People/Process/Systems, which enabled ConAgra to leverage its massive size and scale to build its branded products portfolio.
