John Sicard

John Sicard, BCompSc ’88, is the president and chief executive officer of Kinaxis, a global leader in modern end-to-end supply chain management. A passionate technologist and vocal advocate of “supply chains for good,” Sicard leads 2,000 employees in more than 25 countries on a mission to improve the world’s most complex supply chains for the benefit of people and the planet.

Kinaxis revenue has more than quadrupled since Sicard became CEO in 2016, and he continues to advocate for fundamental change in supply chain management. His near 30-year tenure with Kinaxis began with early contributions to the core architecture and development of the company’s supply chain management software. Sicard also supports greater neurodiversity in staffing as a pathway to innovation. The Kinaxis Autism at Work program aims for one out of every 100 Kinaxis employees to be on the autism spectrum, and today, Kinaxis has reached closer to two percent.

Before joining Kinaxis, John Sicard held senior software architect and management positions in research and development at FastMAN Software Systems and Monenco Agra. He is a Concordia graduate and a graduate of the Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program. Reflecting his strong social conscience, Sicard led Kinaxis to participate in the United Nations Global Compact as an expression of the company’s commitment to a sustainable future.
