Our Team

Core Value: Innovation
Innovation begins with curiosity and a willingness to challenge the status quo. I believe the best automation solutions aren’t about replacing people, but empowering them to work safer, smarter, and more efficiently. By understanding each customer’s unique challenges, we can apply collaborative robotics and emerging technologies to solve real business problems, improve productivity, and create lasting value.

Adam Welch is a robotics and industrial automation professional with more than a decade of experience helping manufacturers improve productivity through collaborative robotics, machine vision, motion control, and advanced automation solutions.

His experience spans business development, channel management, product management, and technical sales, working with many of the industry’s leading automation technologies and robotics manufacturers.

Before joining Cobot Partners, Adam held leadership roles with organizations including Mitsubishi Electric Automation, AIRSKIN, and All Control Enterprises, where he developed strategic partner networks, launched new robotics initiatives, and helped customers successfully implement automation solutions across a wide range of industries.

Known for his consultative approach, Adam focuses on understanding each customer’s operational goals before recommending solutions. He is passionate about making automation accessible to manufacturers of all sizes and helping organizations confidently adopt collaborative robotics to improve safety, efficiency, and long-term competitiveness.

Core Value: Believe

Believing in something gives us faith in the things we hope to become true. Even more powerfully, belief can manifest those things we hope for with or without seeing the evidence of what you want to manifest turn into reality. I’ve personally seen true miracles come to life by believing! 

With over 11 years of experience in the staffing industry and more than 8 years in leadership roles, I bring a strong track record of success across a wide range of hiring environments.

I excel at building, strengthening, and maintaining client relationships—both with long‑standing partners and new accounts. My leadership style focuses on empowering colleagues and employees to reach their full potential through guidance, support, and mentorship. I am passionate about creating collaborative, high‑performing teams and ensuring a positive experience for both clients and candidates.

Core Value: Loud & Clear

Communication is the key to growing strong relationships. It is essential to building trust with our clients, our talent, and our team. Every voice needs to be heard and considered. Excellent communication overcomes barriers, prevents misunderstandings, and unifies people to accomplish great achievements together.

Core Value: Aha!…That place where insights, epiphanies, eurekas, solutions, and ideas are realized!

After many years in a creative role, this is what I know: the best ideas come from EVERYONE. Never doubt your crazy ideas. It is the craziest of ideas that make us push beyond excellence to find true insight and support the evolution that makes everything we create better, smarter, more engaging, more fun, more effective, and truly meaningful!

His expertise includes 3PL management, in-depth technical knowledge of warehouse systems and software, and a solid foundation in Six Sigma principles. Kenneth consistently applies these strengths to help advance operations toward their Next Best Version (NBV) while delivering measurable results.

Core Value: Growth

I believe growth happens when people are challenged, supported, and encouraged to step outside of their comfort zones. Whether in business or in life, continuous growth comes from building strong relationships, staying adaptable, and always looking for ways to improve both personally and professionally.

Core Value: Say/Do

Communication is arguably the biggest component to a successful team, but all of that goes out the window if there is no follow-through. When a teammate does exactly what they say they’re going to do, it puts their team in a position where they do not have to question if the work is getting done. This frees up teammates to work on other tasks so that they can collaborate, instead of check on work.

Core Value: Better/Smarter/Happier.

Curiosity is the driving force behind learning, growth, and innovation. By fostering curiosity, we continuously seek to improve ourselves and our understanding of the world, leading to smarter decisions, happier outcomes, and a better future for all.

Core Value: Aha!

For me, Aha! moments happen when curiosity meets experience and challenges turn into clarity. They are the moments when insight sparks action—when a problem becomes a solution, an idea becomes a strategy, and a team gains a shared understanding of what’s possible. I’ve seen firsthand how these moments can transform performance, unlock growth, and change the trajectory of a business. By encouraging questions, embracing innovation, and staying open to new perspectives, I strive to create an environment where ideas are realized and meaningful solutions come to life.

Core Value: Believe.

Core Value: Loud & Clear.

I live by the motto treat others like you would like to be treated. I think people deserve to be treated with respect and they usually respond well to that. Plus, this makes for much more positive interactions.

Core Value: Say / Do.

When you make a commitment, you create hope.  When you keep a commitment, you create trust.
