Summary
Adam Preston is a Digital Transformation Specialist with over 15 years in ICT and 11 years specifically driving USAID-funded global health and international education programs across Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. He combines hands-on engineering experience—from early software and banking systems to cloud migrations at Best Buy—with program-level leadership in data systems, procurement, budgeting, and technical proposal development. At RTI and CHISU he led international teams, data center deployments, and capability assessments that translated technical strategy into measurable health information system improvements. Now at Colorado State University, he applies that blend of technical depth and stakeholder management to institutional digital transformation. An MBA in International Business and a background in computer science underpin his ability to bridge technical, operational, and donor-driven priorities in complex, resource-constrained environments.
