Biography

Claudine Ullman is a world-leading corporate trainer and keynote speaker who uses the science of comedy to solve the most pressing challenges in modern business. As the founder of Jittery Citizens and a highly sought-after Chief Comedic Officer, she doesn’t run workshops; she installs powerful operational frameworks that get teams “un-stuck” and build a resilient, high-performing culture.

It is for this groundbreaking corporate training that she was recently honoured as a winner of the prestigious “40 Under 40 UK” award and nominated for the “40 Under 40 Global” award, recognising her work in helping organisations preserve their human advantage in an AI-accelerated world.

Claudine’s proprietary framework, The Humour Advantage™, is a battle-tested methodology for dismantling the fear of failure, building psychological safety, and unlocking the collaborative intelligence that AI cannot replicate. Her expertise is trusted by a roster of global giants including Unilever, WPP London, Mercedes-Benz, EY, and Ogilvy.

Her authority is built on a formidable career as a professional comedian and SAFTA-nominated writer, with performances at the world-renowned Comedy Cellar in NYC and features on Netflix, Showmax, and Comedy Central. This rare blend of C-suite-level facilitation and world-class performance ability makes her sessions both profoundly insightful and incredibly entertaining.

Technology Executive & Co-founder, Synthesis Labs
