Christopher Kelly, President
Christopher Kelly is The Strategic Counsel's senior advisor to many national and international clients. He has had extensive experience over the past 12 years in designing and executing research programs that respond to a wide range of business and market challenges. His particular expertise in the telecommunications and financial-services sectors has led to on-going, long-term research for clients such as Rogers Communications and Rogers Cable, the Canadian Bankers Association and the Canadian Cable Television Association.

Before co-founding The Strategic Counsel, Chris was chief operating officer and executive vice-president of Decima Research. His background in communications-the initial stages of his career were spent in senior positions with a strategic communications consulting firm-has also given him a valuable perspective on consulting and research.

Chris sits on the boards of the Casey House Foundation, the Toronto International Film Festival and the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education, and he volunteers with the Writers Development Trust. He enjoys a variety of outdoor activities including cycling, skiing, golf and hiking. Chris is also an avid amateur photographer.
