Shikany was previously Vice President of Membership & Market Intelligence and brings over a decade of leadership and innovation to his new role.

As Executive Vice President, Shikany will oversee key operations for A3, serve as the daily liaison to the A3 Board, and lead the A3 executive team. His responsibilities include driving strategic initiatives, enhancing collaboration, and increasing member value to further A3's mission.

President Jeff Burnstein emphasised the importance of Shikany's promotion in light of the organisation's rapid growth. Over the past five years, A3 has doubled its team, established the ‘Automate’ event as the leading annual robotics and automation event in North America, and expanded internationally to Mexico and India. Shikany's leadership in internal operations enables Burnstein to focus on long-term strategies.

Shikany, who has been with A3 since 2012, led the rebranding initiative that unified four organisations under the A3 umbrella. In his previous role, he drove membership growth and expanded A3's global reach to over 1,300 member companies.
