John Landry
Chairman and CEO
ThinkingBytes Technology With 25 years of experience building world class software and software companies, John Landry currently is Chairman and CEO at thinkingBytes Technology.
From 1995 to 2000, Landry served as VP Technology Strategy at IBM, a unique position charged with discovering and evaluating new disruptive technologies emerging from "edge" companies for possible incorporation into IBM's top-level corporate strategies. Landry assumed this position after leading IBM’s Internet Strategy task force, a position assigned to him by CEO Lou Gerstner in 1995 to define IBM's e-business strategy across the corporation. This assignment followed IBM's acquisition of Lotus in 1995, where John had served as Senior VP Development & Chief Technology Officer from 1990.
Previously, Landry had been the senior technology executive at Dun & Bradstreet, Cullinet Software, Distribution Management Systems and McCormack & Dodge Corporation, the latter three all targets of successful acquisitions in the 1980's. Additionally, Landry has served as Chairman of Agility Systems until its acquisition by Dun & Bradstreet in 1994, Chairman of Narrative Communications until its acquisition by Excite@Home in 1999, and Chairman of Anyday.com until its acquisition by Palm in 2000.
