Visionary. That’s the word one hears most often if you ask Henry “Hank” Adorno’s former partners at Adorno & Yoss what they think of him. It’s an odd tribute to the man who, as CEO and president of Adorno & Yoss, drove the firm disastrously off the rails.

Once a backwater South Florida firm, Adorno & Yoss grew rapidly into the nation’s largest minority-owned firm, landing clients such as E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company and Eaton Corporation. “I thought his strategy was brilliant,” says former partner Gregory Victor, now at DeMahy Labrador Drake Payne & Cabeza in Miami. “We were, as a firm, ahead of our time.”
