I'm curious, what's the story behind him?

I heard him talk at a conference once and thought his insights were somewhat benign for someone in his position, but he didn't strike me as evil. Just uninteresting, I guess.

He's got a reputation for being particularly brutal on workers -- this is the guy who was, after all, responsible for Amazon's warehouse and logistics conditions, including working with GC Zapolsky to go after unionization and workers' rights efforts. Amazon's retail profitability pretty much rests on his ability to squeeze every cent out of employees' sweat, but the human toll has been high. (One particularly telling story about Clark is that he oversaw Amazon's noncompete lawsuit against his longtime friend and best man at his wedding, logistics head Arthur Valdez, when Valdez left Amazon for Target.)

This sounds wild enough to be a Suits season arc!

He's evil; a level of sinister and corrupt that should be investigated. As in, he needs to be held liable in the Amazon lawsuit, alongside Amazon, as a co-defendant.
