He has also worked with small & medium sized companies and individuals advising on the mitigation of financial and operational risk, securing investment opportunities and managing assets and liabilities.

Adnan’s advisory practice is strongly influenced by his devotion to Mindfulness practice and his daily physical practice of Yoga. The Yoga tradition offers a useful paradigm for mind/body/money balance: the purusharthas, or four aims of life. They are dharma (duty, ethics), artha (prosperity, wealth), kama (pleasure, gratification), and moksha (the pursuit of liberation). The purusharthas are the blueprint for human fulfillment, signposts that point us to a successful, satisfying, balanced existence in the world. Working with them can help an individual create a satisfyingly balanced life at the deepest and most holistic level, and Adnan uses this philosophy to inform his work for the benefit of those he works with.

Adnan was previously with UBS AG, the world's largest wealth management firm based in Switzerland, and with Bank of America and Chase Manhattan Bank and PEGG|Hornor, Townsend & Kent, Inc.
