RealVNC is the “no regrets” remote access platform for engineers looking for the most reliable, most secure solution; one that champions the needs of those unserved and unsatisfied by the larger vendors today. Intentionally built different by the creators of VNC technology.
What we’re proud of
Work wherever works
Over the last 25 years, as the inventors of VNC, we've enabled a global workforce to work wherever works and created the remote access market.
Reducing carbon emissions
We’re reducing carbon emissions by keeping engineers and support staff off the roads/rails and out of the air.
Workplace equity
We’re improving workplace equity by enabling roles to be performed remotely that previously required in-person attendance.
Equal opportunities for all
We’re part of a move towards equal opportunities for all e.g. by improving the classroom experience for partially-sighted students.
Improving efficiency
We’re enabling healthcare workers to monitor patients more efficiently, reducing the burden on them especially during a challenging global pandemic.
Adam was appointed CEO in March 2018 after successfully building RealVNC’s intellectual property licensing (OEM) business and transforming their end-user proposition to a SaaS model. Leading the business into Livingbridge’s 2021 investment has left RealVNC poised for its next stage of growth.
With a background in Mathematics and Computer Science, and a career spent growing IT companies from the ground up, Adam bridges the technical and commercial interests of the business. Seeing his role as building a world-class team that works together in harmony to deliver an excellent service, this has been an important attribute.
Over his career, he has helped charities, non-profits, start-ups, scale-ups and corporates alike to deploy technology that maximises efficiency and effectiveness. His passion for RealVNC as a productivity solution that’s relevant in every industry sector, at every organisation size, is only amplified by its long history of reducing carbon emissions and creating workplace equity by enabling people to reduce their personal travel and work wherever works.
Adam is a dedicated lifelong learner, whether as a technologist, musician, motorcyclist or linguist.
