Jennifer Clamp
Jennifer trades through Aata Ltd
I have a special interest in supporting female, underrepresented and impact focussed founders. Specifically, founder CEOs of companies with 5-50 employees and from £1M+ rev.
The founders I work well with tend to be 'do-ers', mission-driven, have had careers and are self-aware. They come to me to support them through a period of transition in their business and their role.
My work draws on my career leading change initiatives with national, commercial and social objectives. It tends to be a mix of inviting clients to see the bigger picture and going deep to affect internal shifts in perspective and behaviour - with practical and tangible take aways.
I enjoy having long-term and broad engagements with my client's businesses, working with the founders, top team, running workshops, etc.
Through my work, I wish to see more values-led businesses thriving and creating a shift towards a more humanistic form of capitalism.

Life before becoming a coach
Naturally entrepreneurial, I’m compelled to experiment and improve the world around me - which has led to an intentionally varied career, always leading human, business and social transformation.
My roots are in psychology and biology - human behaviour, organisational design, culture and leadership. My career started in project management leading tech transformation projects. I’ve benefited from time in consulting and corporate, learning what good governance and leadership look like and then honing my influencing skills in the public sector, shaping the entrepreneurial ecosystem
As an entrepreneur, I’ve won international startup competitions and set up and scaled Techweek New Zealand to a national, week-long festival of 550 events across 36 locations. I’ve trained in Lean Startup for incubators and accelerators with Steve Blank, was early to Conscious Capitalism and BCorp and nurture and interest in alternative organisational design models such as teal organisations and self-managing teams.
Alongside my day-job I’ve established and run multiple communities for professionals, creatives and entrepreneurs. Connecting people continues to be an activity that energises me.
Why I became a coach
Becoming a coach wasn’t a big leap - the way I work has always been facilitative; coming into a situation where change is needed, ascertaining the end goal and creating the conditions for that change to take place.
After having my daughter, I thought long and hard about the legacy I want to leave through my work. I believe in the transformative power of business and I have a deep interest in human behaviour. It was a natural next step to focus on enabling impact-driven founders to thrive and succeed, drawing on my super power of recognising people’s potential and believing in them.
Through my work, I wish to see more values-led businesses thriving and creating a shift towards a more humanistic form of capitalism.
