Adrian
Adrian Sydenham
President & Director

Since very near the inception of MarketSmart Communications, back in April of 2003, Adrian has been instrumental in forming the company’s corporate objectives & values. In May 2006, he took on the role of VP Corporate Communications and, after being named director, Adrian officially became President of MarketSmart in June 2020.

This tenure of Adrian running MarketSmart’s daily operations has yielded a large network of retail investors, newsletter writers, financial professionals and connected investment groups. Beyond this, he has assisted MarketSmart’s client companies with financings, marketing focus, and awareness.

In attending both the Douglas Universities’ Business Commerce Program and the Canadian Securities Course, a foundation for success was laid. Built atop that foundation is Adrian’s ardent passion and experience in the industry, all of which has positioned MarketSmart to continue achieving its corporate objectives.

Maria Da Silva
Founder & Director

MarketSmart was established in February 2002 by Founder and owner Maria Da Silva. Following her role at StockScape, where she deftly and expertly handled daily operations, Maria brought a track record of success and a wealth of knowledge in business and marketing to her new enterprise.

Not only did Maria build the company’s industrious corporate culture from the ground up, she identified the talent needed to move MarketSmart’s objectives to new heights. Her outgoing personality led the company through its infancy by developing key relationships with retail investors, financial professionals, newsletter writers, and client company principals.

Maria remains as ambitious as ever as she looks to help guide MarketSmart to its next level of success.

By auspicious chance, Chad’s initial association with MarketSmart was as an investor contact.

Possessed with both a passion for the financial industry and an extensive, holistic knowledge of the resource & technology sectors, Chad has greatly assisted MarketSmart in achieving its corporate objectives. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and relentless work ethic will be driving forces as he emerges as a familiar name within the industry.
