RedPrairie rounds off executive team

Waukesha-based RedPrairie Corp. has appointed Jack Robinson, a former IBM executive as its new chief financial officer and financial leader.
Robinson previously was vice president of business development finance for IBM’s Global Sales & Distribution Group.
"Jack is the last piece in building the best leadership team in our industry," said John Jazwiec, RedPrairie’s company leader. "He brings solid financial experience in public technology companies and has operational experience in the consumer goods and food and beverage industries, two of our key verticals."
RedPrairie is a global supply chain technology solutions provider at the forefront in the development of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The fast-growing company reported $25.2 million in revenue in the first quarter this year.
"I am excited to join RedPrairie at this dynamic time in its growth." Robinson said. "I believe my experience in finance and operations for global technology and consumer packaged goods companies are well-suited for my role at RedPrairie. I have first-hand experience of the competitive advantages of real-time logistics and the importance of effective supply chain management. The opportunity to leverage these disciplines to help drive RedPrairie’s worldwide growth was a major factor in my decision to join RedPrairie’s strong executive team."
Robinson received his bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Cincinnati in 1977 and his master’s degree in business administration from the Kellogg Business School in 1996.
Robinson joins R. Michael Mayoras as a new member of RedPrairie’s administrative team. Mayoras recently was named customer implementation and services leader for the Americas. Mayoras is responsible for RedPrairie’s consulting, services, support and training programs. He formerly was the president of DigiTerra Inc. and has more than 20 years of experience in the supply chain industry.
"RedPrairie takes a consultative approach with customers to promote long-term partnerships and improve customer results. Mike’s extensive services and consulting background make him the perfect person to lead and enhance this service model," Jazwiec said.
"As RedPrairie continues to execute its ambitious growth plans and makes strategic acquisitions to respond to customers’ global supply chain requirements, it is critically important to integrate our products and services offerings," Mayoras said.
The other members of RedPrairie’s leadership team include Tim Conroy, Jerry Rau, Jim Hoefflin and Martin Hiscox.
