Clark brings multi-unit and multi brand experience with him to Captain D’s. Prior to Captain D’s, Clark was with P.F. Chang’s China Bistro for seven years, where he most recently served as the vice president of supply chain, food safety and quality assurance. Clark began and spent 21 years of his supply chain career working with the Unified Food Service Purchasing Co-op, best known as the purchasing cooperative for YUM! Brands.
