Ottawa, Canada, September 12, 2011— Kinaxis™ Inc., provider of the on-demand supply chain management (SCM) and sales and operations planning (S&OP) software service, RapidResponse™, recently named Kirk Munroe, as vice president of marketing. In directing the company’s product and go-to-market strategies, Munroe will drive the adoption of RapidResponse into new market segments.
“With nearly two decades of product strategy experience, Kirk delivers the insights and proficiency that Kinaxis needs to best serve its current customer base and to expand into new markets,” said John Sicard, chief operating officer at Kinaxis. “As the business landscape continues to grow more complex, there has been an increase in the number of companies looking to leverage enhanced supply chain response management capabilities to gain command and control over their business operations. RapidResponse meets that need, and Kirk is the person to position the value the solution delivers.”
