Global Oracle partner Inoapps announced that it has appointed Lyle Ekdahl to its global board as a non-executive director. Ekdahl joins Inoapps following his career at Oracle, where he was senior vice president of product development and general manager of Oracle’s JD Edwards product family until 2021.
Over a 17-year period, Lyle became the driving force behind Oracle’s JD Edwards products, leading development, quality assurance, product management and strategy, quality engineering, and business development for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and JD Edwards World applications. Prior to joining Oracle’s JD Edwards team, Ekdahl held executive and management positions at Siebel Systems, Scopus Technology, Platinum Software, and ChannelPoint.
Lyle Ekdahl, non-executive director for Inoapps, said: “I have worked with ERP customers throughout my career and have been lucky enough to be part of multiple industry inflection points and the Oracle evolution. The consistent theme is to ensure that enterprise software supports business growth. Given that technology and applications move forward and change so quickly, the need for partners who can help customers grow, seize opportunity and competitive advantage is critical. Few partners are as well positioned to deliver on this need as Inoapps at the current time. I am excited to re-focus my energy, experience, and knowledge within the industry and Oracle ecosystem at such an innovative and aggressive growth-oriented partner as Inoapps.”
