JAMIE CLARKE BIOGRAPHY

Jamie Clarke views business as an adventure.  Jamie Clarke shows audiences how to strategize and succeed in their ventures. An acclaimed adventurer, mountain-climber and entrepreneur, Clarke draws parallels between the dynamic environments found in business and nature to share memorable insights and actionable strategies on leadership, risk management, and goal setting. He challenges audiences to reach their unique Everest and guides them toward building and leading teams to success.

As a mountain climber, Jamie Clarke has reached the Everest summit twice, but only after his first two attempts were cut short by deadly storms, leaving him only a few feet short of the summit. Determined and dedicated, Clarke reached his goal in 1997 and 2010. He is also one of a handful of people in the world to hold the rare accomplishment of climbing the Seven Summits.

Always one for new adventures, Jamie Clarke has ridden camels across the Empty Quarter of Arabia, motorbiked across Mongolia with his son, and has served as a performance coach for Olympians, the NFL, Hockey Canada, and the 2018 Stanley Cup-winning Washington Capitals.

Adventurer, Jamie Clarke is also the founder and former of a mountaineer clothing e-commerce business that earned him multiple nominations for the Canada Post E-commerce Innovation Awards.

Through relaying his diverse experiences as an entrepreneur and mountaineer, Clarke provides essential tips on handling risk while navigating challenges, scaling new heights while retaining your passion, and how to foster an honest and authentic workplace culture that stays true to its mission.

Jamie Clarke’s upbeat perspectives from the roof of the world to the peaks of business success have made him a favourite with leading companies and pro sports franchises. The Stanley Cup-winning Capitals, Olympic Gold Medal Team Canada, IBM, Kraft, NFL, and The Wall Street Journal have learned from his stories of perseverance, leadership, and team building.

With boundless energy, gritty humour and palpable passion, Jamie Clarke inspires audiences by channeling the lessons of unforgiving wild places to illuminate the challenges organizations, and people face every day. Jamie offers deep insight and actionable strategy for success in business, academia or the most dynamic environment of all everyday life.

Jamie Clarke shares lessons learned from journeys of contrast, courage and endurance. From the top of Everest to the deserts of Arabia. From Mongolia to The Andes. From The Rockies to Kilimanjaro.

Jamie Clarke Speaking Testimonials

"Wow! Wow! Wow! Jamie Clarke was fabulous, and I’ve already heard multiple comments from attendees that they thought he was the best conference speaker they had ever heard. His mix of wit, mountaineering information, and motivation was spot-on, and his pacing was terrific. And he threw in some really great corporate-related quips or serious references."

Lyra Ward Hankins

Director, Marketing Communications
Ventyx

"Jamie Clarke was, as always, at the top of his game. The employees were ecstatic, and rave reviews started immediately following his presentation. I actually hesitate to refer to what Jamie does as a “presentation.” He is an authentic storyteller, true stories told from the heart based on real life experiences. And, as always, a kind, thoughtful, and generous ‘partner’ to work with."
