Adele DiMaarco is a leadership and human-risk advisor who works with family business owners, CEOs, and deal teams during high-stakes transitions. Her work focuses on helping leadership systems remain steady when ownership is changing, authority is shifting, or growth pressure is testing an organization’s capacity.

​

With more than two decades of experience working inside complex organizations, Adele is known for bringing clarity and calm to situations where decisions matter, relationships are strained, and mistakes are costly. She works at the intersection of leadership, structure, and human behavior—addressing the people-side dynamics that quietly undermine continuity, execution, and value during periods of transition.

​

Adele’s background includes formal training in neuroscience, anthropology, organizational behavior, and business, along with advanced training in executive facilitation and organizational systems. This foundation allows her to work fluently with both the human and structural realities leaders face under pressure, without overcomplicating the work or inflaming sensitive dynamics. Her work often includes confidential one-on-one advisory with CEOs and senior leaders during transitions, supporting decision-making, stabilizing authority, and reducing leadership strain when pressure is high.

​

She works alongside family owners, investment bankers, M&A attorneys, boards, and private equity teams as a trusted advisor—supporting succession, integration, and leadership transitions so outcomes hold beyond the transaction or transition moment.

 

Adele is the founder of Yinovate Advisory. She holds an honors research bachelor’s degree in Biology (Neuroscience) from Purdue University and master’s degrees in Business Administration and Medical Anthropology from Case Western Reserve University. She has completed extensive training and advanced certifications in Gestalt Organization & Systems Development, Polarity Management, and HeartMath Coherence Science.
