Kevin J. Clancy, Ph.D. (photo left), is the co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Copernicus Marketing Consulting. Kevin Clancy, Peter C. Krieg, and partners opened the doors to Copernicus in 1993 with one mission: to transform the way companies think about and practice marketing. The firm takes its name from 16th century scientist Nicolaus Copernicus. Just as Nicolaus Copernicus proved that the sun, not the earth, is the center of the solar system, Kevin Clancy argues that marketing, not finance or operations, is the center of the business solar system.
Prior to Copernicus, Kevin Clancy founded and served as Chairman of Yankelovich Clancy Shulman. Earlier in his career, Kevin Clancy was Vice President for Research Services at BBDO Worldwide, and held faculty appointments in Sociology and Marketing at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Boston University's School of Management.
