About James Clark
Sure! I live across the street from Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NYC, with my wife, our six-year-old twins, and our big, cuddly rescue dog “Penny.” I grew up in California and earned my Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Davis. I had hoped to study viticulture or veterinary science. The disciplines, UC Davis, is world-famous for until I realized how much chemistry is required for each and became a political science major after day 2 of organic chemistry. I worked for about two years as a casino games dealer at Harrah’s in Lake Tahoe, NV. Then spent three years living abroad in Dublin, London and on the Greek island of Corfu. Before finally giving in and coming home to follow my destiny in tech. When not working, I am addicted to endurance athletics; running marathons, Ragnar relays, Spartan races. Anything that lets me compete with the genuinely competitive and (maybe?) slightly crazy. I love Boston Red Sox baseball and look forward to nothing more than taking my son to his first game at Fenway Park later this month. On weekends you can usually find me at the beach or in the mountains, swimming or hiking or playing with my kids.

Insightful, motivational and energetic, James has galvanized Barrington's interactive teams to produce outstanding digital products and content for the company's 14 websites and apps. He has transformed a once-fledgling digital media company into a force to be reckoned with. Under James's firm leadership and with his extensive knowledge of the web industry, Barrington utilized modern digital tools and services–YouTube, push notifications and daily deals, for example–to increase site exposure, grow traffic, and drive revenue. Since James took the helm in 2010, site traffic has ballooned threefold. James's leadership style encourages all staff members to share ideas, build skills and work together: a recipe for a successful web business and a driven, dedicated team.

James is an intelligent, dynamic and engaging leader. I had the privilege of working on his AOL Homepages team as a project manager. His broad background and experience made him well able to understand all aspects of our work from market strategy to technology challenges. He always provided clear direction and never avoided the tough decisions. On his team I felt challenged and appreciated. I'd definitely work for him again.

I worked with James in various roles over the years, the latest being his role leading the Product/Business aspects of the AOL Homepages.
Given the nature of the Home Pages/Portal, this was a central part of AOL's audience engagement, network recirculation and overall monetization. James managed with a perspective that understood the central nature of these experiences and the importance of making them relevant, utilitarian and fast for AOL's customers. James was equally comfortable handling the product/business aspects of his role as well the technical underpinnings of crafting the capabilities and delivering the experiences.
James' style is no nonsense , direct and strictly given to what is best for the customer ,keeping the Portal/Home page type of engagement relevant with introduction of social media and non-AOL utilities for those customers that no longer used one company for all of their Web surfing needs . The Home Pages experiences and hence AOL as a whole benefited immensely from his leadership .
