Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBarry Clark is an experienced software leader and interim CTO with 13 years of engineering and product leadership across startups, non-profits, and scale-ups, based in New York. He has led and grown engineering organizations from small teams to hundreds at Trello/Atlassian, built product-focused processes at Poggio Labs, and now advises and steps in as fractional CTO to drive strategy, hiring, and execution. Equally comfortable in the weeds and at the boardroom table, he combines hands-on front-end chops (notably contributions to the popular jekyll-now project) with strong people and organizational design skills like career ladders and manager training. His engagements emphasize practical, actionable roadmaps for scalability and high-performance operations, and he often remains involved in hiring, mentorship, and leadership coaching. A former professional poker player turned engineer, he brings data-driven decision making, risk assessment, and a global perspective from working and traveling internationally.
