John Sicard’s Summary

John Sicard has spent over 15 years helping build a number of key functional areas at Kinaxis™. Having started as a key contributor to the architecture and develop of Kinaxis supply chain management solutions in early 1994, he soon went on to hold senior management roles in development, professional services, business consulting, and customer support. His deep exposure to software technology coupled with his hands on application of it with large manufacturers, such as Honeywell, Jabil Circuit, Raytheon, Hewlett Packard, Microsoft, Research in Motion (RIM), Teradyne, and many others, has resulted in a unique practitioners perspective on how manufacturers have regained control over an increasing volatile supply chain.

John oversees the design, development of the Kinaxis on-demand service as well as those teams responsible for its deployment and support. In the Fall of 2009, John's leadership role was further expanded to include the company's corporate and product marketing functions, which enables the company to benefit from a fully integrated and coordinated process for establishing the RapidResponse™ vision and taking it to market.

Before Kinaxis, John held senior software architect positions in research and development at Enterprise Planning Systems, FastMAN Software Systems, Inc (also known as Promira before being purchased by Manugistics), and Monenco Agra.

John earned a Bachelor of Computer Science, from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, with a strong focus on software architecture and UI Design.
