He built and implemented a program that increased Walmart Canada’s engagement by 15-pts over a three-year period, significantly reducing labor risk.

Over the course of his 20 year career, he’s led a number of functions including Field Associate Relations, Internal Communications, Change Management, and Learning and Development and led the response to multiple crisis and labor campaigns.

Personally, Adrian is a fitness buff, tech and gadget freak. He’s also an avid traveler and amateur photographer, with a soft spot for dogs – especially his English Bulldog, Frank – Amplitude’s Chief Barketing Officer.
