Liaw joined the company in 2016 and ascended to the sole CEO position in April 2024. Prior to that transition, he and Adair shared the executive burden as co-CEOs for two years. Adair, a veteran of the firm’s leadership, previously served as CEO from February 2010 until the dual-leadership experiment began.

Despite his departure from the board and the executive suite, Liaw will maintain a connection to the company. He is slated to become a senior adviser to Adair, focusing on customer-centric transition services through July 2027.
