Adam Nicholas Pritzker
BornJuly 17, 1984
San Francisco, California
Alma materColumbia University
OccupationEntrepreneur
Known forCo-Founder, General Assembly and Assembled Brands

Adam Pritzker (born 17 July 1984) is an American entrepreneur. He is the chairman and CEO of Assembled Brands, a collection of fashion brands,[1] and co-founder chairman of General Assembly, a private school for professional development.[2] He is a member of the Pritzker family, a very wealthy family that has owned the Hyatt hotel chain, the Marmon Group, and several other large businesses.[3][4]

Early Life and Family

Pritzker attended Columbia University and graduated in 2007 with a B.A. in anthropology.[5] He is the grandson of Jay Pritzker, who created the Hyatt hotel chain.[6][7] His father is John Pritzker, an American billionaire and investor in hotels.[8] His relatives include 11 billionaires.[9]

Career

Pritzker co-founded General Assembly in January 2011 with Jake Schwartz, Brad Hargreaves, and Matt Brimer.[10] Pritzker and his partners started the company as a New York coworking space that offered practical classes on technology, design and entrepreneurship.[2] The 20,000 square foot space was modeled after a college campus, according to Pritzker.[2] He served as the chief creative officer, and helped its expansion to eight other locations globally.[11] He was named to the Inc. (magazine) 30 under 30 list,[12] and the Forbes magazine 30 under 30 list[11] for his work at General Assembly. He left his day-to-day job at the business in 2013 but remained its chairman.[5][7]

Prtizker started Assembled Brands in 2012, intending to create a consumer goods and hospitality conglomerate.[3] As a holding company, Assembled Brands has $200 million under management, with investors including Pritzker himself and other Pritzker family members.[3] Brands Pritzker has invested in include the Line, with products sold in stores staged as private homes in New York and Los Angeles, as well as an e-commerce website; Protaganist, a luxury fashion collection also sold by the Line; Tenfold, a homewares and T-shirt company; Khaite, a contemporary fashion collection.[1]

Pritzker wrote a pamphlet describing a "100-year philosophy" for Assembled Brands.[3] Pritzker says the company provides a network of services, such as finance, logistics, and e-commerce, to emerging brands making around $1 million to $2 million a year in revenue, and that no one brand has to become a breakout success for his holding company to succeed .[1] He also provides start up capital.[7]

In an op-ed, Pritzker argued that small fashion labels faced three major obstacles: not enough actionable data, no bargaining power, and not enough capital.[13] As a solution, he proposed small fashion brands centralize data, share resources such as infrastructure, a sales forces of independent stylists, and be provided with growth capital structured more like a loan than equity investment.[13]

Political action

In October 2017, Pritzker partnered with Jeffrey Sachs, a development economist at Columbia University, and Daniel Squadron, a former New York state senator, to found Future Now.[14][15] The new group's mission is to promote a set of national policy priorities it terms "America's Goals 2030", and to do so by funding state-level political candidates who are committed to working toward those goals.[15] Based on the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals  – a global list of priorities approved in 2015 by the 193 U.N. members[15] – the organization's policy agenda encompasses seven priorities: good jobs; affordable health care; investing in children; empowering people over special interests; equal opportunity; sustainable infrastructure; and clean air, water, and energy.[14][16]

With Pritzker initially the primary financial backer, Future Now gave about $160,000 to 10 Democratic candidates who ran in 2017 for the Virginia House of Delegates, the lower house of the Virginia state legislature.[14][17] The group also hopes to fund Republican candidates who are willing to commit to its stated policy goals.[14]

Personal

Pritzker married Sophie McNally in 2016.[18] He lives in Beverly Hills, as of 2014[19] and placed his New York City house up for sale in 2015.[20]
