He also spent 18 years at Cognos, six of them as vice-president of global customer support.
“Having a passion for running organizations focused on putting the customer first, I saw Kinaxis as a great fit for me personally and professionally given its reputation in the market,” Mr. Shepherdson said in a statement.
