Guy Kawasaki is one of the most prominent voices in brand evangelism, a role he helped define during the early days of Apple’s Macintosh Division. Returning to Apple as chief evangelist in the mid-1990s, he demonstrated how belief, storytelling, and customer-centric thinking can transform products into icons. Today, as Chief Evangelist at Canva, Guy applies the same principles to an AI-powered design platform trusted by more than 90% of the Fortune 500 and millions of users across 190 countries. His insights reveal how brands grow when they focus less on hype and more on usefulness, trust, and genuine advocacy.
Across a four-decade career, Guy Kawasaki has worked with organizations such as Google, Mercedes-Benz, and Wikipedia, while also founding multiple successful startups and advising many more. His perspective on innovation is grounded in experience rather than theory. Guy explains what actually drives adoption, why simplicity wins, and how teams can innovate without losing speed or purpose. Audiences gain a clear framework for turning bold ideas into sustainable results, even in fast-changing and uncertain markets.
As the author of 16 bestselling books on startups, leadership, and innovation, Guy Kawasaki has educated generations of entrepreneurs. Works such as The Art of the Start, Selling the Dream, and Rules for Revolutionaries are used at leading academic institutions around the world. In his talks, Guy distills decades of entrepreneurial wisdom into practical guidance on launching, scaling, and sustaining ventures. He speaks candidly about failure, resilience, and the discipline required to build something that lasts.
Guy Kawasaki’s current mission centers on helping people become remarkable. As the creator and host of Guy Kawasaki’s Remarkable People podcast, he has interviewed more than 200 extraordinary individuals, including Jane Goodall, Steve Wozniak, Seth Godin, Arianna Huffington, and Neil deGrasse Tyson. These conversations form the foundation of Think Remarkable: 9 Paths to Transform Your Life and Make a Difference (2024), a book offering a clear roadmap for growth, adaptability, and meaningful impact. Guy shares how adopting a growth mindset, building resilience, and embracing change can elevate both personal and professional life.
Beyond the stage, Guy serves as an executive fellow at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business and as an adjunct professor at UNSW in Australia.
