Dyadem CEO Named to “Pros to Know” List by Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine for Second Consecutive Year

Honored for Commitment to Quality Lifecycle Management

TORONTO – March 24, 2009 – Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine, the executive's user manual for successful supply and demand chain transformation, has named Dyadem President and CEO Kevin North as one of the industry’s “Pros to Know” in 2009.  This marks the second time Mr. North has been recognized as a “Pro to Know” for his devotion to Quality Lifecycle Management and Risk Lifecycle Management.

This year Supply & Demand Chain Executive is recognizing 18 Practitioner Pros to Know and three Practitioner Pro to Know Teams. The Practitioner Pros to Know is a listing of exceptional corporate executives at manufacturing and non-manufacturing enterprises that are demonstrating leadership during the current economic downturn by managing risk in the supply chain, providing competitive advantage and/or delivering value to the bottom line.
 
"By turning the spotlight onto these outstanding Practitioner Pros to Know, we are not only recognizing their accomplishments but also offering them as role models for other executives looking to bring their own organizations through these turbulent economic times and take Supply Chain to a higher, more strategic level within the enterprise," said Andrew K. Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "They are all truly 'Pros to Know.'"

Dyadem President and CEO Kevin North led the company to its 6th year of consecutive growth in 2008 – gaining 44 percent revenue growth from the previous year.  Mr. North is an advisor to other start-up technology companies and is a regular speaker at conferences, trade shows, universities and colleges. 

“During these challenging economic times, our customers are trying to maintain their product focus yet with fewer available resources.  In the manufacturing environment, it is critical to implement systems that prevent any unnecessary or unforeseen costs associated with poor quality, and that improve efficiencies for the reduced manpower,” said Mr. North.  “It is an honor to be recognized for the second year in a row from such a respected industry publication that highlights Dyadem’s commitment to Quality Lifecycle Management and our customers.”

The full listing of the 2009 Pros to Know is available in the February/March 2009 issue of Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine and on the Supply & Demand Chain Executive Web site at www.SDCExec.com.
