Justine Clark

As a Program Lead, Justine is responsible for planning and implementing innovative programs for the DMZ’s startups. She is always available to offer ongoing support and connections to help startups scale their business. Justine recently moved back to Canada from the UK where she spent 5 years helping tech startups scale. Since moving back, she has spent time working for multiple startup support organizations such as the Creative Destruction Lab and HaloHealth.

Justine started her journey in tech over 6 years ago working for Brainstation as the Campus Manager. It was there that she first grew passionate about helping students and small businesses. She then moved to London, where she managed University College London’s innovation hub for startups alongside corporate partners, Cisco and EDF. Here, she was lucky to work across multiple verticals such as program design, partnerships, sales, and visa support (helping over 80 international startup founders launch their business in the UK).
