We are a growing team of corporate finance professionals, who are based in different jurisdictions and bring wide range of skillsets to the mix. We work across continents and when we work together, we respect local cultures and local ways of doing things.

Deal Pipeline

We have a state-of-the-art, cloud-based technology platform, which enables all our partners to work on all the available mandates (US $2 billion, as of Jul-2020) from anywhere in the world. We are implementing an actionable operational blueprint that defines how partners and resources stay organised and operate collaboratively to deliver results.

Our global workforce is diverse in many ways, and we consider this a competitive strength. We\'re on a journey together. Adan Corporate has an ongoing commitment to the creation of a workplace free of discrimination and harassment. Adan Corporate recruits, hires, trains, and promotes individuals in all job titles without regard to race, color, sex, religion, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, physical or mental disability, pregnancy, veteran status, citizenship status, marital status, genetic information, height, weight, or any other status protected by federal, state or local law.

The \"happy to talk flexible working\" culture changes all that, making it easier for our staff to find the right balance between their working and home lives right from the outset.
