February 2021 Special Edition
In the rapidly changing world of eCommerce, there has been one constant for the last 20 years, Kadro Solutions!
A message from our President/CEO, Rick Johnson
This eCommerce Insights newsletter is all about Kadro Solutions’ 20th Anniversary. It was on February 23, 2001 that Kadro Solutions was incorporated in North Carolina. Founded by Rick Johnson, Malcolm Allen, Scott VandeLinde, and John Bowser in Raleigh, NC. It has been a long journey to establish, build, survive, and grow the business together. I am forever grateful to my business partnership and friendship with Malcolm, Scott, and John. Building and running a business takes commitment, hard work, dedication, and making many sacrifices along the way. Thank you. It has been a remarkable journey together.

For Kadro’s successes, we have many people to thank.
First, our clients. We are very grateful and thankful for each and every one of our clients. They have all been a pleasure to work with and serve. We take a great deal of personal pride in helping our clients. Those that appreciate it the most often share their personal and thoughtful thanks to our staff for their service and commitment. Knowing that we’re helping our clients run and grow their business is the best motivation and energy to strive for 20 more years.
Second, our partners and vendors. Everyone involved in helping us run our business, a heartfelt thank you for your support, dedication, and service. I’m very grateful for the help, counsel, and service you’ve provided to me, our business, and our employees.
Third, our technology partners who provide additional services and software alongside our engineering team so we can collaboratively and jointly serve our clients together. Thank you for your support and dedication.
Last, but certainly not least, is a big thank you and appreciation to all of our employees. From Mitchell Scott, who’s been with us for 20 years, to our latest new hire, Joseph Tysinger, and everyone in between – THANK YOU! Without your hard work, dedication to our clients, and going the extra miles you often do, we could not have accomplished what we have over the past 20 years without each of you. My hope is that each employee – former and current – have all had the opportunity to grow, learn, and take pride in what they have accomplished by working at Kadro. You are all part of the Kadro family.
Happy Birthday Kadro!
Rick Johnson
