At the age of 30, Carl Adams made the decision to leave a successful career in mining to pursue a career in Management Consulting. After a steep learning curve and some challenging times, he realised that he enjoyed consulting but was seeking an environment more closely aligned to his core values that led to him founding Momentum Partners. In the 3 years since its foundation, Momentum Partners worked for some of Australia’s leading companies including BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Woodside and Leightons, and employed a staff of 20 before being acquired by KPMG in August 2014. Following this acquisition Mr Adams was appointed Partner at KPMG - Head of Mining (Australia). He passed away in June 2016, having battled with an aggressive form of cancer.
