Gerard Barron

Chief Executive Officer

Gerard Barron is one of the founders of Adstream and has been CEO of Adstream Holdings since 2002. After overseeing the launch in the home market of Australia, he moved to live permanently in London from August 2002.

Gerard's prime focus is around Strategy and Key Clients, ensuring that the high organic growth of the company continues and the service & value Adstream delivers to clients help them run their businesses more efficiently and effectively.

Gerard started his first company while still at university and has now led 20 years of successful entrepreneurial activities within varied industries such as publishing, automotive component manufacturing (with plants in China) and Telecommunications with a national wholesale and retail chain in Australia, successfully sold in 1999 to Singtel. Since then Gerard has been an active investor in innovative business ventures in the mining and technology sector.

Gerard has led the impressive growth of Adstream through strong geographical expansion across Europe, USA, Latin America and Asia as well as several acquisitions of complementary business enterprises, growing its presence from one to 25 offices around the world in less than 10 years.

Gerard has a Bachelor Degree of Business at the University of Southern Queensland and lives in Richmond with his family.  Apart from Adstream, Gerard discovered the adventures of cycling and is now a dedicated devotee of lycra - and a proud owner of a bike that, goes the legend, was made by Ernesto Colnago for His Holiness, Pope John Paul II.
