Adam Contos was a cop with an entrepreneurial bug that carried him to the top job with one of the world's largest franchisors. After 11 years in law enforcement, Contos was tapped by Re/Max co-founder Dave Linger to handle franchise developments across several regions. In 2015, he was promoted to senior vice president of marketing. And two years later, he was named co-CEO, alongside Liniger, of Denver-based Re/Max Holdings Inc. He's transforming the real estate franchise company with new technology that aims to make agents more productive and homebuyers more prone to open a Re/Max app instead of Zillow's. And he's also watching the quick expansion of a relatively new mortgage business line. 

The new Business Roundtable Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation has received a great deal of support, as well as questions and criticisms. We've welcomed the debate and the opportunity to engage both supporters and critics. There's no more challenging issue for our country than how to preserve our free market system while ensuring that the benefits of capitalism flow to every American. These challenges will occupy us for some time to come, but we believe our new Statement will give companies a stronger framework for doing their part to address them.
