Adam Elmahrek: Lead Investigator & CEO

Award-winning investigative reporting.

Adam Elmahrek is president and CEO of AE Research LLC, bringing elite research skills, narrative clarity, and an eye for truth to every case. He is a former award-winning investigative journalist with over 15 years of experience, most recently at the Los Angeles Times. His work exposing corruption, fraud, and systemic abuse has earned national honors. In 2023, he helped spearhead an investigation for The Times that was awarded the Barlett and Steele Gold Award for Investigative Business Journalism; the Scripps Howard Award for Excellence in Business/Financial Reporting; and the Gerald Loeb Award (local category) for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism. The series was also a Pulitzer Prize finalist. AE Research LLC brings that same critical thinking, discretion, and persistence to its clients today.
