Adam Ferrari

Adam Ferrari is the founder and CEO of Phoenix Energy, one of the fastest-growing oil and gas companies in the United States. Under his leadership, Phoenix has set numerous drilling records in North Dakota’s Bakken formation and became the first company to receive an effective S-1 registration statement from the SEC without previously having publicly traded common equity. His entrepreneurial approach combines innovative capital formation with disintermediation. Phoenix has raised more than $1.5 billion directly from retail investors and deployed that capital into domestic energy development, supporting American workers and local communities.

A chemical engineer, Ferrari graduated magna cum laude from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and began his career with BP America.

Ferrari established the Phoenix Energy Scholarship for students pursuing energy-related fields and founded the Ferrari Foundation, supporting individuals affected by paralysis and health-science education.

A native of Illinois, he now lives in Newport Beach with his wife and two children.
