John Sicard’s Summary

John Sicard has spent over 14 years helping build a number of key functional areas at Kinaxis™. Having started as a key contributor to the architecture and development of Kinaxis Response 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.

As executive vice president, development and service operations, John oversees the design and development of all Kinaxis software as well as those teams responsible for its implementation and support. Through a strong team of industry experienced consultants, integrators, educators, and a first rate deployment methodology, John's team is able to implement RapidResponse™ in a matter of weeks.

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 Manuguistics), 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.
