After 25+ years in the data center sector, Chris Bair knows that transparency and integrity are the only pathways to long-term success in this industry.

Chris joined Stream in 2019 with a deep appreciation of the company’s reputation for doing the right thing. Since then, he has led a commercial organization known for collaborative partnerships that deliver on commitments.

As CCO, Chris helps enrich Stream’s hyperscale business engagements, meet evolving customer needs and develop great people and exceptional services. As Partner, his leadership is illuminated by former roles across the data center industry and as Pilot and Captain in the United States Air Force.

Complemented by lessons learned from endurance and vintage auto racing on the weekends, Chris’s penchant for forward momentum drives Stream’s commercial operations — and his obsession with ‘doing good’ at scale with diligence, discipline and dependability strengthens the company’s working philosophy.

Chris and his teams work to earn and maintain trust through consistent behavior and a dedication to positive, predictable data center experiences across design, construction, deployment and operations.
