“I highly recommend Dana Clarke with no reservations. His integrity is of the highest caliber. I would not hesitate to do business with Dana on a handshake. Dana's work is also world class. In fact, he is one of the most adept problem-solvers I have ever met. Give him any problem and he can guide you to a breakthrough in record time. Not only is he professional and credible, he is passionate about helping American companies regain market leadership. He is a natural strategist and he is constantly adding to his vast store of expertise in many fields. Although it appears I am evangelizing, my regard is most sincere. Dana has saved many clients millions of dollars directly off the bottom line, cut waste, reduced delivery times, measurably improved processes, re-align companies to address true customer needs, and helped position companies into competitive dominance - his talent is not theoretical.

Jeff Defrank hired Dana as a Business Consultant in 2005 , and hired Dana more than once
“Dana never ceases to amaze me. His methods of problem-solving lack boundaries. Just when you thought you've exhausted all possibilities, Dana hands you a dozen more. We have known each other for more than 30 years and over that time, he has made a lasting impact on my life. Because he gave me his time, I discovered that I don't have to be afraid to try something. He would say that failures are just milestones on the road to success. To me, Dana has been a teacher, a mentor, an encourager and a friend. He never "put a lid on my jar". If you have the opportunity to work with him, rearrange your schedule and postpone your vacation if you have to, but don't pass it up. You won't be dissapointed.” July 27, 2008
