Jean-François Godmer, a 2014 McGill-HEC Montréal EMBA graduate, recently joined Poka as Global Channel Program Director.

Poka is a Quebec-based startup developing a complete solution to digitize factory-floor information processing. The company has experienced rapid growth;  its recent round of funding brought their total investment to $17M to develop innovative solutions in the Industry 4.0 era.

Jean-François’ mandate will be to help accelerate this growth by building a global and comprehensive partnership program that will help Poka find the right partners to resell and distribute their products and services.

“What I learned through the EMBA McGill-HEC Montréal will help me connect the company’s strategy to the reality on the ground and build strong value-creating partnerships,” explains Jean-François.
