On being named to this illustrious list, Adam expressed his gratitude and excitement:

“I am so humbled and honored to receive this recognition, and am so proud to bring attention to the work we’re doing here in Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent. When I started my economic development career over 10 years ago, the prevailing idea was that if you wanted to build something cool and unique, you had to do so in Toronto, or San Francisco, or Waterloo. In the decade since, a tremendously passionate team has been hard at work on the ground here making connections between industry, entrepreneurs, and the global startup ecosystem, to prove to founders that we can collectively shift our mentality from “I have to build it somewhere else” to “I can’t build it anywhere but here.” We are a region of makers and growers, and it is so exciting to be on the forefront of an evolution that is taking our core strengths and applying them to technologies and innovations in ways we’ve never dreamed imaginable before.”

Alongside Adam Castle, this year’s list also recognizes a number of other leaders with regional connections including Nour Hachem of Build A Dream, Natasha Feghali of Feghali Group, Leah Harris of Leah Harris Music LLC., and Chris Colasanti and Brendan Woodfull of Rocket Mortgage Canada.
