Adam Rudman, CEO of Vcheck Global, one of the fastest growing businesses in the country

March 03, 2020 - Front Section

New York, NY Since becoming CEO of Vcheck Global in 2017, Adam Rudman has led Vcheck’s sales growth and expanded the company’s offerings as a leading provider of deep-dive due diligence background checks for commercial real estate companies, law firms and investment groups. 

During Rudman’s tenure the company has increased revenue by over 250% and he has successfully secured some of the largest Fortune 500 companies as clients. Rudman’s client-driven work ethic and diligence has helped the company to continue to grow as cited on the INC 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list for the last two years. 

Today Vcheck Global services over 1,000 clients across the globe that include many large commercial real estate lenders, law firms, private equity, hedge funds, accounting firms and corporations that use the company’s sophisticated set of services to vet investments and borrowers.  The company’s services include identity verification, asset searches, judgments and liens, bankruptcies, criminal records, credit reports, social media presence and more by real estate professionals who vet prospective hires, clients, strategic partners and suppliers.

“In the real estate space we provide an efficient deeper dive into background investigations for clients at a lower cost,  making the investigative process more affordable to many companies–big and small,” said Rudman. “Our staff saves companies millions of dollars in potential losses and help limit their exposure to litigation and unnecessary risk.”

How can VCheck Global help commercial real estate firms make wiser investment choices

Regardless of where clients operate there is always a concern of criminal activity—from fraud to money laundering—and financial instability such as bankruptcy and poor credit. Due to the significant amount of capital on the line with commercial real estate deals and their inherent risk, the scope of Vcheck’s investigations includes criminal litigation, assets, liens, judgements and bankruptcies.

Recently Vcheck Global was hired by a NYC law firm on behalf of a large real estate lender to investigate two entities and three individuals involved in a multi-million dollar real estate deal.

In less than 24 hours, Vcheck Global found that one of the individuals had operated under five aliases, had a criminal record, including DUI and resisting arrest, and was accused of domestic violence. They also found a judgment lien close to $30,000 and a foreclosure associated with this person.  

“After reviewing the facts with our investigator, they came to the conclusion they would not move forward with the deal.” said Rudman. “Because of our findings we killed a major deal that could have been a disaster for one of the largest lenders in the world.”

In another recent investigation conducted by Vcheck Global, a U.S. search for a commercial lender came back clean. But their search of media articles revealed that the client had a presence in Bangladesh that showed he was involved in the country’s healthcare mafia.

“Our client expressed deep gratitude for saving them from getting tied up in a multi-million loan with this person,” said Rudman.

Vcheck Global’s headquarters is located in Los Angeles. The company also has offices in New York, Washington D.C. and Boston.

In 2019 Vcheck Global also invested heavily in machine learning and AI to provide more insightful reports in a shorter turnaround time. Some of the appropriate ways that Vcheck is currently going about lowering costs and tapering turnaround time is how it has embraced automation on the front end of an investigation and human intelligence on the back end to review every single report. 

Under Rudman’s watch Vcheck Global has assembled an experienced domestic and international team who help uncover valuable information for clients. Vcheck’s highly trained staff include  many seasoned private investigators, paralegals and other industry professionals with criminal justice backgrounds and degrees who travel to courthouses and examine civil records, state, county, and federal data on people and companies while having boots on the ground in countries around the world and conducting discreet interviews.

“Our team exposes litigation, negative media, bankruptcy, criminal and other records,” said Rudman.” “We are not the only company taking these measures, but unfortunately it is the exception rather than the norm.” 

There is a saying out there, “If Vcheck can’t find the dirt, it probably doesn’t exist,” said Rudman.

The company’s information is high quality and they have the ability to go back over 20 years, with a report delivered in a few days or a few hours.

“We live in a world where schemers are good at what they do and we can never be complacent or lazy,” said Rudman. “With our flexibility to turn on a dime, we protect their reputations.”

Vcheck Global Hosts Barclay Center Basketball Tournament

Outside of work, basketball is one of Adam Rudman’s greatest passions and the source of his determination to win and work hard to achieve one’s goals.

“At my house growing up, if I dropped the ball, my dinner was then in question,” said Rudman who credits his upbringing with placing the utmost importance on winning. 

A big fan of Kobe Bryant’s “Mamba mentality,” Rudman feels strongly that traits which make athletes successful on the court, are often the same ones that make someone successful in business.

“Team oriented athletes are often great teammates in business,” said Rudman, who points to his colleague Ken Blumenthal, the managing director of Vcheck Global’s NYC office, for being a person he always wants on his team—someone not afraid of taking on a challenge knowing full well the struggle that lies ahead.

To show appreciation for Blumenthal, the company’s other employees and clients, Vcheck Global held a recent basketball tournament at Barclays Center in Brooklyn for more than 60 industry executives to compete in a 3-on-3 tournament. 

The company later announced their “Mamba Award,” named in honor of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna. “It was a memorable day that was made even more poignant for all of us since the sudden and tragic passing of Kobe,” said Rudman. The award will be given once a month to a Vcheck Global employee who shows the most passion and desire to be the best they can be.
