About Adam
As President of the broader Focus Financial Partners organization, as well as Chief Executive Officer of Focus Partners Wealth and Focus Partners Advisor Solutions, Adam Birenbaum provides the dedicated, strategic leadership critical to advancing Focus’ vision to be the leading fiduciary advice company in the industry.
Early on in his career, Adam followed his interest in finance to a job focused on valuation, transactions and restructurings. While he loved the world of finance, he felt he was missing a bigger opportunity to connect with and bring value to the lives of others in a more meaningful way. Returning to St. Louis to attend law school, Adam found his dream job was right in his own backyard. At Focus Partners Wealth, Adam’s keen eye for succession planning and growth has helped create deep wealth management teams that can support clients for generations to come. He has also expanded Focus Partners Wealth’s size and depth of client experience through a combination of organic and acquisition-based growth strategies. The combination of these efforts has enabled Focus Partners Wealth to become one of the largest registered investment adviser firms in the country.
In his broader role at Focus, Adam provides strategic guidance, leadership and oversight across its U.S. wealth, family office and OCIO offering, its advisor solutions businesses and the collective of more than 60 Focus network firms.
His enthusiasm for helping clients achieve their goals extends to the boardroom as well. Adam serves on the financial and investment committee for several nonprofit organizations and is a past member of Fidelity’s Advisor Council. He's also active with the St. Louis Chapter of Young Presidents' Organization (YPO). Throughout his career, Adam has been honored as the recipient of a variety of awards as well as industry recognition.
Adam is a graduate of Vanderbilt University and St. Louis University School of Law. He is an avid sports fan, an active collector of sports memorabilia and a lover of movies. He and his wife, a pediatrician, have three wonderful children — two daughters and a son.
