Irv Kirschbaum

Director, Total Rewards and HR Systems

“I came to Adamas for the opportunity to help reduce the burden that Parkinson’s disease places on our patients and their care partners, and for a position that offered attractive pay and employee benefits. I stayed because I get to spend my days with a team composed of the most diverse, interesting, talented, funny, irreverent, inspired and dedicated professionals I have ever worked with, many of whom represent some of the best talent in their respective fields. Adamas has a culture in which everyone’s contribution is acknowledged and appreciated, and managers actively look for opportunities to recognize their employees for doing something great.”
