Travis McDonough, the CEO of Kinduct Technologies, will be the keynote speaker at the Halifax Chamber of Commerce’s annual fall dinner on Thursday.

McDonough founded Kinduct, an athlete management system that helps clients find information on the human body and specific athletes. Kinduct supplies its software, which draws data from over 500 sources, to more than 100 professional and elite sports organizations like the NFL, and NHL. The product allows coaches and athletes to make informed training decisions to enhance their performance.

Last October, Kinduct announced a US$9 million (C$12 million) round of funding from Intel Capital. The health- technology company used the funds to enhance their software’s capabilities as the demand for specialized data management and analytics continues to grow in the spots industry.

Kinduct, which has offices in Halifax and Silicon Valley, employs over 100 people.

Patrick Sullivan, President and CEO of the Halifax Chamber of Commerce, said in a press release McDonough is “a success story we want all of Nova Scotia to hear. He spent time away from the province and returned to show that we can build and grow successful companies right here in Halifax.”

McDonough’s accolades include: the 2015 Ingenious Award, 2015 CBC Innovative Company of the Year, and the Best Places to Work Award in 2015 and 2016. He will take the stage at 8 p.m. on Thursday at the World Trade and Convention Centre following the dinner at 6:30 p.m.
