- Leadership change comes as strong financial performance and AI-driven market momentum underpins long-term strategic growth
Kinaxis® Inc. (https://www.kinaxis.com/en) (TSX:KXS), a global leader in supply chain orchestration, today announced that Blaine Fitzgerald, Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has advised of his intention to step down from his role to pursue a new career opportunity with a private company outside the supply chain software space. A search will begin for a new CFO immediately. Fitzgerald remains with the company as CFO through May 8, following the company’s first quarter 2026 earnings call, to support a smooth transition.
“We are grateful for Blaine’s leadership and contributions over the past six years. He has played a key role in strengthening our financial foundation, building out the financial leadership team, and advancing our AI strategy. Thanks to the depth and capability of our Senior Leadership Team, we remain well-positioned for continued success as we begin the search for our next finance leader,” said Razat Gaurav, Chief Executive Officer, Kinaxis. “We wish Blaine every success as he embarks on his next chapter.”
“During my time at Kinaxis, we’ve accelerated growth, achieved record profitability, and built strong business momentum. Under Razat’s leadership, the company will continue to seize the opportunities ahead in supply chain orchestration and AI, which made this a difficult personal decision,” said Blaine Fitzgerald, Chief Financial Officer. “I want to thank the Senior Leadership Team, past and present, for their partnership and for the unique Kinaxis culture we’ve built together. I am also grateful to our shareholders, analysts, and the broader investment community for their support over the years. It has been a privilege to be part of this journey.”
