Culture Collab is me, Adam Samuelson.
Safety, Security, Risk and Resilience pro
Hi, I’m Adam. I’m the Founder and Principal Consultant of Culture Collab. We work exclusively with cultural institutions to deliver safety, security, risk management, and resilience.
I’ve had the privilege of supporting some of Australia’s leading museums and galleries—including the National Gallery of Australia, National Museum of Australia, and the Museum of Australian Democracy.
I started Culture Collab because I saw a need for specialist, practical support with an experiential understanding of the challenges faced by cultural institutions. I take a collaborative, context-aware approach to helping organisations protect their people, collections, and reputation—providing confidence in the face of uncertainty.
