Gerald Adams

Co-Founder & Group Director at Vision Consulting

Gerald leads joint VISION and client teams to implement designs that heighten the clients’ ties to their customers and greatly improve enterprise-wide coordination to drive new value for the clients and for their customers. In 1984 he co-founded VISION to capitalize on new, human-scale personal computers and local area network technologies. Since that time, Gerald has helped VISION grow into a successful management consulting firm with an extensive portfolio of projects in Europe and the Americas.

In that period he helped design Ireland’s first full-service telephone and online bank and brought that experience to VISION’s international banking and insurance clients, helping them become leaders in this area. He worked closely with key IBM software labs on their first, substantial distributed object application, which pushed the practical limits of those technologies. As the Internet revolutionized the way they do business, Gerald led VISION’s move into Internet consulting with clients such as TheStreet.com, CitiBank, and AOL Time Warner.

Gerald graduated from Trinity College Dublin in 1979 with degrees in mathematics and engineering. He is a keen amateur photographer and painter with a love of history and technology.
