Jane Stephens
Performance can be enhanced in times of change by focusing on personal strengths and staying true to core motivations. As a coach I help my clients identify and implement strategies that play to their strengths and deliver results that benefit them and the organisations they work for.
Experience

Here she worked with established corporations and innovative start-ups, her client base spanning the telecommunications, software, hardware and media sectors.
Jane then joined Atlas Venture, a transatlantic venture capital fund with US$ 2billion under management. She was responsible for all aspects of human capital in the portfolio companies across Europe, working with investment teams in the telecommunications, software and life sciences sectors. Jane worked with company founders to scale and develop their operations, including evolving the leadership team and planning and implementing effective reward strategies.
Before becoming a coach Jane sought the experience of entrepreneurship, establishing and managing a successful executive search firm, which specialised in the telecommunications, media and technology sectors. Clients ranged from BT, T-Mobile and Adobe to smaller venture backed organisations.
Jane brings to her coaching relationships significant insight into a range of business environments along with a clear understanding of the importance of maximizing the positive aspects of transition, both personal and organisational.
