Mark Squire Adams, 1951 - 2020
Mark Squire Adams, age [69], passed away on February 15, 2020, from complications following surgery.
Born January 2, 1951, in Nyack, NY, to Horace B. Adams and Virginia T. Adams, Mark graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1972. After graduation Mark moved to New York City where he spent the next two decades working for large banks and brokerages such as Chemical Bank, Drexel Burnham Lambert, Bear Stearns, and Kidder Peabody, primarily in mortgage derivatives.
Mark was an avid inventor with six patents to his name, and in 1996 Mark founded Intralinks with his business partner and friend John Muldoon. Using an innovative service Mark created, Intralinks revolutionized the way investment banks and brokers conduct strategic transactions. Intralinks was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2010 and currently employs more than a thousand people. Mark was a recipient of the prestigious Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award to honor his transformative contribution to the financial services industry.
Mark loved to be with people and to play. Tennis and playing guitar were passions of his - Mark's height gave him a distinct advantage on the tennis court and he had a lovely tenor voice. He balanced his extroversion with an interest in World War II history, in no small part due to his father who conducted reconnaissance behind enemy lines as the Allied Forces fought their way across France and Belgium.
New York City was Mark's home, but his heart was in New Hampshire at the family lake house where he could be found grilling, gardening, and entertaining guests by the dozens. He loved being a father and savored every aspect of his children's lives, whether significant or mundane. Mark is survived by his beloved daughter and son, of whom he was so very proud: Walker Masten Brown-Adams and Jeremy Clark Brown-Adams, both of New York City; his brother, Guy Adams of Bridgeport, CT and his former wife of twenty years, Sarah Brown-Adams of New York City. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. A memorial service will be held on February 29th at Ryan's Daughter, 350 East 85th Street, from 3 to 5 pm.
