Supply chain software provider Generix Group today named a new president, saying that Raphaël Sanchez, who has been the company’s chief revenue officer since April 2023, succeeds Aïda Collette-Sène. 

The Montreal-based company says its goal remains the same: to empower businesses of all sizes to digitize supply chain and finance processes, as well as to connect customers and suppliers, placing data at the core of flow management.


In a statement, the company’s owners—Montefiore Investment and Pléiade Investissement, alongside Generix Group management—said the new leader would lead Generix’ development phase, anchoring the cloud and AI at the core of digital applications and technologies, while facilitating the transition of existing and future clients to the cloud (SaaS). 

"Aïda Collette-Sène's efforts since 2018, particularly during her presidency in 2022, provided Generix with the human and financial resources for its transformation and international development. With the transformation foundation set, we can now launch the cloud (SaaS) acceleration phase, building upon the work already done,” the group said. “We thank Aïda for her invaluable contribution to the company's success in the recent years. We are confident that Raphaël Sanchez will bring the strategic vision and leadership needed for the company to succeed in its new phase of growth and innovation."

Sanchez, 44, worked previously at IBM France in the Data and BI domains, eventually heading IBM Software Group France sales and later IBM Global Technology Infrastructure Services France. In 2020, Raphaël led the separation of the services entity in France with the creation of Kyndryl.

Composting isn’t just for food waste anymore

The next time you buy a loaf of bread or a pack of paper towels, take a moment to consider the future that awaits the plastic it’s wrapped in. That future isn’t pretty: Given that most conventional plastics take up to 400 years to decompose, in all likelihood, that plastic will spend the next several centuries rotting in a landfill somewhere.

But a Santiago, Chile-based company called Bioelements Group says it has developed a more planet-friendly alternative. The firm, which specializes in biobased, biodegradable, and compostable packaging, says its Bio E-8i film can be broken down by fungi and other microorganisms in just three to 20 months. It adds that the film, which it describes as “durable and attractive,” complies with the regulations of each country in which Bioelements currently operates.
