BIOGRAPHY

Adam Markin is an operating partner working with the firm’s industrial technology and life-science tools practice and its private equity group more broadly. Adam brings more than two decades of executive experience in the industrial-tech sector, including as a two-time CEO who managed multiple add-on acquisitions and three exits of Battery portfolio companies.

Prior to re-joining Battery this year, Adam was the CEO of Process Sensing Technologies (PST), a Battery platform company providing a suite of instruments, analyzers and software for precision measurement and monitoring in a variety of industries. Battery sold a significant stake in PST to AEA Investors in 2020, and Battery and AEA sold the company to DwyerOmega in 2024. Before joining PST, Adam served as the chairman of Qognify, a physical-security company backed by Battery that was acquired by Hexagon in 2022.

Adam also previously served as the CEO of Industrial Safety Technologies, a Battery company focused on industrial safety solutions that was acquired by Tyco International in 2015. Prior to that, he was a divisional director at TT Electronics and the vice president and general manager of Scott Health & Safety, a division of Tyco.

Adam also worked with Battery as an Executive in Residence prior to serving as a CEO.

Earlier in his career Adam was a senior manager at Ernst & Young and also held senior roles within Tyco International, Scapa Group plc and Fort James.  He has a degree in economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
