Executive Summary

Adam Rudman is Founder and CEO of Alias Intelligence, an investigator-led background due diligence and intelligence firm he launched in 2021 to serve lenders, investors, law firms and corporations making high-stakes decisions. The firm positions itself on turnaround speed and analyst-led verification rather than automated database output, running background due diligence, executive and employment screening, and ongoing automated monitoring for clients in commercial real estate, private credit, investment banking, executive search and corporate M&A.

Career Highlights

• Alias Intelligence has been named twice to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies under his leadership.
• Served as CEO of Vcheck Global from 2017 to 2020, leading the company to two consecutive Inc. 5000 listings and overseeing the opening of three additional offices.
• Was the first hire at Vcheck Global in 2013, rising through Senior Vice President of Business Development and Managing Director before being named CEO.
• Built business relationships with Fortune 500 companies during his Vcheck tenure, before founding Alias.

Professional Journey

Rudman entered the due diligence industry in 2013 as the first hire at Vcheck Global LLC, having earlier worked in sales at Oakwood D&O Insurance Services. He rose quickly through Vcheck, serving as Senior Vice President of Business Development and then Managing Director, developing relationships with many Fortune 500 clients, before being named Chief Executive Officer in 2017. During his three years as CEO he led the company’s accelerated global growth strategy, oversaw the expansion of three additional offices, and took Vcheck onto the Inc. 5000 list in two consecutive years.

In May 2021, after nearly eight years at Vcheck, Rudman left to found Alias Intelligence, launching with offices on both the East and West Coasts to provide background investigations and due diligence for financial and investment institutions, corporations, real estate entities and law firms. He built the firm around an entrepreneurial culture centred on scalability, innovation and what the company describes as uncompromising quality, with an operating model that emphasises reaching a human analyst outside normal business hours when a deal timeline shifts.

Alias has since broadened beyond one-off reports into recurring products: automated searches and continuous monitoring that surface new risk as it appears, executive and employment screening for hiring and promotion decisions, and Signal, a standalone automated scan that returns results in minutes. The firm now operates from a Los Angeles headquarters with additional offices in Austin, Texas and Dover, Delaware, and has been named to the Inc. 5000 twice in its own right.
