Concurrent Technologies hires Parsons vet Hamilton as CEO

Concurrent Technologies Corp. has hired its next chief executive in Christopher Hamilton, a three-decade defense industry veteran and formerly an executive at Parsons Corp.

Hamilton will join CTC on June 29 and succeed Ed Sheehan Jr., who has led the nonprofit science and research firm for 18 years and announced his retirement plan in January.

Following this leadership transition announced Wednesday, Hamilton will lead CTC’s new 10-year strategic plan for the firm itself and its Enterprise Ventures Corp. affiliate focused on technology transition efforts.

Hamilton most recently worked as a partner for strategy and growth at the cyber and data services contractor AnaVation.

At Parsons, Hamilton oversaw a portfolio of technologies and solutions focused on protecting people and critical infrastructure. He also led the establishment of a counter-unmanned aerial systems center of excellence in West Virginia.

“(Hamilton’s) experience, vision, and understanding of the opportunities for operational transformations driven, in part, by Artificial Intelligence will be instrumental to improving customer mission success,” Jeffrey Harris, chairman of CTC’s board of directors, said in a release.

Hamilton joined Parsons in 2023 through its acquisition of Xator Corp., where his most recent role was senior vice president of technology solutions. He joined Xator in 2014 through its purchase of CMX Technologies, where he was president and chief operating officer at the time of that transaction.
