Wendy Jameson – Co-founder and CEO, Colnatec

Jameson, who earned a 2011 White House “Champion of Change” award, has developed and launched multiple technology companies as both a consultant and founder. This includes a multinational consulting organization, her self-owned company, Potentiate, and Colnatec. Colnatec is the only company in the world designing and developing state of the art manufacturing process control sensors for thin film measurement of high temperature processes.

Surprising fact: “I’m an introvert. I’m loud and seemingly outgoing, but I’m far more comfortable with a good book.”

Biggest challenge: “Allowing myself to take some credit for Colnatec’s wins. I’m not as good at recognizing my own contributions as I am in recognizing others’ contributions.”
