What people say about working with elev

Larry Franco

Retail Banking BBVA

It’s hard to know where to begin with a recommendation for Adam Spencer. Not because I’m at a loss for words, but because he’s one of the most talented professionals I know and have ever known. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Adam for the better part of two decades and to say he is consistent would be an understatement of vast proportions. Adam is consistent with his work ethic, his attitude, his leadership, the service he delivers to his customers and the results he and his teams generate. To know Adam, I mean to truly know him, is like knowing few others in your life; past, present or future.

Adam’s high expectations of himself and his teams drive his passion for customers and winning. Although you will quickly find out that Adam is brilliant, he also possesses rare traits beyond “the classroom” that allow him to “see” things and opportunities from a unique lens, blending his academic strengths with a unique and practical business acumen only possessed by the most gifted of Senior Executives. Adam also has the rare ability to make the complex seem simple. Although Adam is a strong strategic thinker, he’s also able to execute.

Every business Adam and I have partnered on has flourished because of the above and aforementioned. However, the most admirable of all of Adam’s traits is his genuine sincerity for people – all people. His ability to connect with people, all people, is driven by his passion for them. Of all of the things I’ve come to appreciate and have tried to describe above, I value his true and unwavering friendship the most. One thing I can assure you of is I’m not the only person in Adam’s world that would write that about him!

Adam is the type of person you would want in your foxhole. He is astute, forthright, and diligent in both business and in his personal relationships. I have never had or know of anyone who has walked away from an interaction with Adam and not felt confident or enlightened in their experience. As a natural leader, Adam has a penchant for helping people and putting other people’s concerns ahead of his immediate benefit or gains. It is both refreshing and unheard of in today’s world and overall climate. I would trust Adam to pack my parachute in the jump of life with all the unknowns that lurk in any experience or business transaction. I cannot thank him enough for his sage advice he provided in a multitude of career and personal decisions I have made.

Satisfied Customer

I want to take a moment to share my personal and professional experience with Adam Spencer because he is truly one of the best professionals I have ever worked with. I was promoted to District Manager at world class, JPM Chase in 2007. Adam was assigned to mentor me for the following three to six months to ensure I was leading the people on my new team in a world class manner, while also carefully managing nearly a Billion in AUM. What I didn’t know then was that Adam is truly the best mentor and coach in the banking business.

“I want to take a moment to share my personal and professional experience with Adam Spencer because he is truly one of the best professionals I have ever worked with. I was promoted to District Manager at world class, JPM Chase in 2007. Adam was assigned to mentor me for the following three to six months to ensure I was leading the people on my new team in a world class manner, while also carefully managing nearly a Billion in AUM. 

What I didn’t know then was that Adam is truly the best mentor and coach in the banking business. The next three to six months changed my life forever. He taught me how to lead people with passion, genuine care, purpose and above all how to hold them accountable without them ever feeling they were being managed. He showed me how to change people’s lives and customers lives by spending several weeks with me in one/one mentor and coaching sessions. My business was changed forever. That first year as a District Manager our team was ranked number one amongst our peers across the nation. I attribute that success to Adam’s coaching and mentorship. We changed the lives of employee’s and customers for the good. People went home feeling good about their work and accomplishments. 

I learned NOTHING is more important in any business than the people! Leading your people through commitment vs. compliance made all the difference. As Adam and I worked together for years to come we developed a life long friendship. He invested in my life. Fitness is a staple in Adam’s life and he changed my life with the Gym and held me accountable through results. Above all, he’s a true friend. If I’m ever in need, I know Adam will be there for me in a moments notice. Adam is loyal, caring, genuine, hard working, honest and the best colleague and friend you could ask for. 

Now being a part of the Supervisory Brokerage team for Keller Williams Realty Downtown, serving nearly 330 agents, I have taken all of Adam’s life lessons and brought them to this career. I can impact those agents and help them operate at their best because of the training and mentoring I have received from Adam. I highly recommend Adam for any professional or personal task/opportunity you may put in front of him.”

“Best boss I’ve ever had!

Adam is a master motivator. He always brought out the best in his team where you wanted to work hard to make him proud. He was excellent at removing obstacles to help you succeed. He was always available, supportive and set clear expectations. You knew where you stood with him at all times!

I first started working with Adam in 2007 as part of his team when he was a District Manager at Chase bank. He took an interest in me – as he did with all of his team – to help me in my personal and professional growth. In short order he was able to help me get promoted to a District Manager as well where we worked together as peer’s for several years. That promotion was a launch point for my career and I will be forever grateful and appreciative of Adam as the driving force in making it happen. I followed Adam to BBVA in 2015 where he was running the national payments and merchant services program for the bank. He educated me on a new line of business and taught me how to be successful. Adam possesses superior knowledge and is the subject matter expert of the payments business.

Adam is an amazing leader and mentor that I continue to rely on and leverage to this day. He’s someone I greatly appreciate and respect. I value the relationship I’ve built with him over the last 15 years not only professionally, but as one of my dearest friends.”
