Joanna Karine Hoffman (born July 27, 1955)[1] is a Polish-American marketing executive. She was one of the original members of both the Apple Macintosh team and the NeXT team.[2][3]

At the time she began at Apple Computer, the Mac was "still a research project".[4] Her position "constituted the entire Macintosh marketing team for the first year and a half of the project",[5][4] which included Product Marketing collaboration on the Mac product design itself. She also wrote the "first draft of the Macintosh User Interface Guidelines".[4] Hoffman would eventually run the International Marketing Team which brought the Mac to Europe and Asia.[4]
