Adam Abernathy is a technology leader with over a decade of hands-on engineering and product leadership experience, now serving as Sr. Director of Applied Technologies at Yext. He blends research-driven problem solving from academic roles at the University of Utah with commercial delivery experience in data governance, digital products, and software engineering at Heartland Dental. Adam is skilled at translating complex data and systems into go-to-market solutions, having led cross-functional teams through technical and organizational transitions. A former US Army Staff Sergeant, he brings disciplined execution and operational rigor to engineering strategy. Based in Salt Lake City, he’s as comfortable prototyping applied research as he is scaling production systems — and, on a lighter note, is a connoisseur of street tacos.
