Ottawa, Canada - May 9, 2025: Municipal Intelligence, an Ontario-based technology company focused on streamlining the land development approvals process for municipalities and developers, has appointed Chris Adams as Chief Technology Officer effective May 13, 2025.
Chris specializes in B2B Software platforms, digital marketing strategy, innovation, funding mechanisms and business advisory services. He loves when all aspects of product design align with overall corporate goals to produce exceptional customer experiences.
Chris’ philosophy is that start-ups are built on great ideas, team structure, product strategy, execution and agility, and that truly listening and understanding the needs of each customer and partner is crucial to success. These beliefs are core to the success of Adams Hamilton and former start-ups that include gShift, a SaaS Content Performance Cloud Platform, Hot Banana Software, a web content management system, and cgk Technologies, an Internet marketing and application development company. (Note: gShift was recently acquired by Mintent (2018), and Hot Banana and cgk were both acquired by publicly traded San Francisco-based Lyris in 2006.)
When Chris is not advising start-ups, he is a dedicated father, sailboat racer, cultural supporter, member of the rock band Sonic Coalition, Barrie Yacht Club Past Commodore and has been a past Barrie Film Festival Board Member for 20 years. He is passionate about contributing to the community by helping to build a sense of place within the City of Barrie.
