Biography

Jonathan McKenna

Dr. Jonathan McKenna has spent 15 years in the IT industry. Initially, he worked as an analyst and project manager, running large systems implementation projects in the government and utilities sectors. Subsequently, he moved into a blue-chip healthcare organisation where he led the development of a complete infrastructure to support the management of documents and corporate knowledge.

Jonathan joined the Boston Consulting Group in 1997. Here he worked for four years providing strategic business and IT advice to the boards of large corporations. Realising that the challenges of integrating disparate systems were a common inhibitor of business performance, he became increasingly interested in the possibilities offered by XML.

In March 2001, Jonathan was appointed Director of Marketing at DecisionSoft. From this position, he has been able to explore the potential of XML and its related technologies.
