Adam's background is in the commercialisation of technology to improve public health. One of his earliest roles was at Cochlear China, where he developed partnerships with enterprise and government stakeholders to make cochlear implantation accessible to disadvantaged and remote communities.

Prior to founding Umps Health, he worked at Ericsson, where he led the development of digital transformation projects to improve the liveability of cities in Australia and South East Asia.

Adam founded Umps Health to support his grandpa living safely and independently at home. After reviewing existing solutions, he found that technology on the whole had not been designed to work for his grandpa. The first person to use Umps Health technology was his grandpa, who he calls Umps.
