CEO & FOUNDER

Katherine Regnier

It is a fact that only 6% of Canadian tech startups in Canada are founded by women, Katherine feels fortunate to be one of them. Katherine was proudly born and raised on a grain farm in the Prairies of Saskatchewan. In high school Katherine had to pick between HomeEc and Computer Class. Turns out her not getting along with the HomeEc teacher worked out. In 2007 the idea for Coconut Software was born with a pencil sketch and a 5K loan. Today, Coconut Software is a Customer Engagement Platform trusted by large enterprises such as Canadian Tire, TELUS, and the Royal Bank of Canada.

Earlier this year, BetaKit named Coconut as one of the top 11 companies to watch out for in 2020, and most recently, out of 800 applicants, they were accepted into the North American Google Accelerator. And if that doesn’t keep her busy, her supportive husband Nathan, and their two kiddos – Alexis and Tyson certainly do. And let’s not forget the most recent acquisition of the most cute and adorable “covid” puppy – Gunner.

What do you love about working at Coconut?

Each person at Coconut works FOR our customers, each other, and our investors. I find it extremely rewarding to see our talent and our customers succeed because of what we push to do everyday.

Why should potential candidates consider joining the Coconut team?

I believe in what Steve Jobs said, “We don’t hire smart people to tell them what to do, we hire smart people to tell us what to do.” If you want to have a voice, make a difference, and work with the top leading brands in the world – this is a fabulous place to make an impact.

How do you enjoy spending your off-time?

I am constantly reading business books and listening to business podcasts – my favourite is the Saastr podcast. I am always looking for ways to improve myself and our company.
