Samiah Adams

Hi, I'm Samiah — I’m a project manager and operations consultant. My job is to help things run smoothly by finding efficiencies, creating custom systems, and effectively leading teams.

I’ve produced podcasts hosted by celebrities (Adam Grant, Amy Schumer, Pharrell) and podcasts hosted by kids, run operations for a branded content studio, co-founded a business, worked with clients like Pfizer at agencies like Publicis Groupe and overhauled operations for a wide-variety of startups.

While I do love making pretty spreadsheets, people are my priority. I take time to understand how teams tick and build systems that work for them. My goal is to create clarity and ease stress.

In my free time you can find me doing homework (I’m getting my Masters in Social Work), volunteering at my local food pantry, gardening and decorating, or driving my dog around Brooklyn.
