About
It is a fact that only 6% of tech companies have female CEO. Katherine Regnier is proud to be one of them.
Katherine is the CEO and Founder of Coconut Software, the leading provider of appointment scheduling and lobby management solutions for financial institutions. The company was noted as one of the top 11 Companies in Tech to watch in Canada in 2020 and recently out of 800 applicants was accepted into the North American Google Accelerator.
Coconut Software makes it effortless for customers to connect with their financial institution. Our appointment scheduling and lobby management solutions are used by leading banks and credit unions across North America, including RBC Royal Bank, Arvest Bank, Vancity, and Rogue Credit Union. The result? A seamless customer experience that’s improved NPS scores, reduced wait times, and increased conversion rates for the organizations who use it.
Katherine started her company with a $5K loan – the demand for Coconut’s solution grew and in fall of 2016, she decided it was time to raise money. Since then she has successfully raised over $39.4M, has experienced 100% growth year over year for the past three years and is projecting to have 80 team members by the end of 2021.
