Adrian Nisbet

Adrian Nisbet is CEO of The End Game®, a business dedicated to helping founder-built businesses endure beyond their founders. He works with family businesses and founderled companies through one of their hardest transitions: handing day-to-day leadership to a General Manager or CEO. Drawing on his own experience of appointing a GM during a period of rapid growth and acquisition, and on his work advising owners, Adrian focuses on the structure, operating environment, culture and family dynamics that determine whether a leadership appointment succeeds. His practical, candid approach challenges owners to stop asking who they should hire and start asking whether the business is genuinely ready for someone else to lead.
