Adam Pingel

VP, Global Clients

Adam joined Ariel in 2022 after over a decade in learning delivery, design, and sales. As Vice President of Global clients, Adam collaborates strategically with clients, crafting experiences that help their leaders at all levels communicate influentially. Adam is also a certified Ariel facilitator, delivering presence and storytelling experiences.

Like many of Ariel’s facilitators, Adam’s career started in the theatre. He earned a degree in Theatre and Speech Education and worked for a time in professional theatre before taking a position leading Forsyth Central High School’s theatre department. As a teacher, his students and program regularly won awards at the regional and state level.

He moved into adult education, working at Bahrcode and FranklinCovey as a content designer, gamification consultant, and client partner, where he received several Chairman’s club distinctions. Certified in their business execution methodology, he helped design their operating system, 4DXOS.

Recently named one of Murfreesboro’s “40 under 40”, Adam also spends time as a Leadership Development Program Coach with the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.

When he isn’t solving problems with his clients, you’ll usually find Adam on an adventure with his wife and three kids, volunteering at their local community theatre, or running a muddy obstacle course.
