Ted Rybeck helped launch Venly, as a spin-off from Benchmarking Partners, Inc. that he founded in 1994. At Benchmarking, he co-led development of Walmart’s first Internet-based collaboration system from customers back to suppliers. He subsequently co-led the rollout of an open-source version of Walmart’s “Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment” (CPFR) software as a standard among retailers globally. He served as founding CEO of Syncra Software, which spun-off from the CPFR system and today serves as a core of Oracle Corp.’s retail collaboration suite. Ted went on to develop and teach semester-long courses on network collaboration at MIT, Wharton, and the University of Chicago School of Business. Ted served on the non-partisan U.S. Congressional review panel on ecommerce. His work on secure Internet collaboration was then funded by a multi-million dollar award from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). He holds a BA in Economics from Haverford College and spent two years as a Thomas Watson Fellow based at IBM Düsseldorf working on regional revitalization through technology.
