Bio
Harry Smith
I had the good fortune to work with Gerry at Metric Machining. I found that Gerry brought a unique perspective that helped Metric move past previous obstacles and into the future. Gerry combined classical, well-understood thinking with new and challenging ideas. It was his breadth of knowledge and creative thinking that helped him stand out from his predecessors. Always professional and with great concern for his team, Gerry helped Metric thru a very difficult period in it’s history.

I worked with Gerry Clarke at Human Synergistics International for several years. In his position of president/CEO, I had the opportunity to witness him bring fresh ideas, implement new strategies, and refocus the company to make it competitive and viable once again. He created a consulting division to create a new revenue stream. He reinvigorated marketing and sales to increase awareness and understanding of company products and services. In addition, he eliminated waste and inefficiencies. He proved time and again his leadership skills with the employees, the board, and owners. I highly recommend Clarke for a senior management position for any company needing experienced, effective new leadership.
