Regis McKenna is chairman of a management and marketing consulting firm specializing in the application of information and telecommunications technologies to business strategies. His firm is highly focused on the integration of emerging technologies into marketable strategies.

Throughout his career, McKenna has played a pivotal role in advising numerous start-ups during their formative years, a list that includes prominent companies like America On Line, Apple, and Microsoft. Over the past decade, his consultancy has extended to major technology-based firms across the United States, Japan, and Europe.

McKenna's insights into marketing and technological trends have been shared in several books, notably "The Regis Touch", which has been translated into nine languages and discusses his marketing theories. His subsequent publications, such as "Who's Afraid of Big Blue?" and "Relationship Marketing" have addressed competitive strategies and the importance of interactive relationships in business, respectively. His latest work, "Real Time: Preparing For The Age of the Never Satisfied Customer" was published by Harvard Business School Press, reflecting his forward-thinking on customer relations in the modern market.

Beyond his professional ventures, McKenna contributes his expertise to various educational and philanthropic organizations. He is a trustee at Santa Clara University and serves as President of the Board of Trustees for The New Children's Shelter of Santa Clara County. Additionally, he holds a venture partner position at the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and is a sought-after speaker on topics related to technology marketing and competitiveness throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.
