He is a frequent guest commentator for CNBC’s Worldwide Exchange, CNBC’s Closing Bell With Maria Bartiromo, Bloomberg Television, Fox Business Network, New Delhi Television, CNN en Espanol’s GloboEconomia.
His research and analysis helps investors understand and harness the multitude of forces at work in today's complicated, confusing, and promising global economy. Ian Bremmer, Chairman and CEO of the Eurasia Group, calls Winter "one of Wall Street's most insightful and honest intellectual brokers."
Early in his career Clark opened offices for J.P. Morgan in Madrid and later Mexico City, living ten years abroad and managing firsthand through the transition, turmoil, and incredible growth of emerging markets. He subsequently managed investment portfolios for J.P. Morgan globally and later became the President of Global Asset Management, the world's first successful multi-manager firm. When G.A.M. was sold to UBS, Clark founded his own firm, Winter Capital, an independent, multi-manager advisory firm, structuring bespoke portfolios for investors worldwide.
The success of Winter Capital led to the acquisition of the firm by Citigroup where he became the Chief Global Investment Strategist for Global Wealth Management, including Citigroup Private Bank and Smith Barney. This coincided with a period of remarkable transition and growth in global markets and Clark travelled extensively throughout Asia, Middle East and Latin America as a key advisor and friend to Citigroup's most important clients. Subsequently, Clark moved to Goldman Sachs as Managing Director and Director of Global Portfolio Strategy. More recently he founded Clark Winter Enterprises, a global investment research and strategy firm and he serves as trustee, advisor, and board member of a select group of significant investors worldwide.
Clark serves as a Senior Lecturer at IESE Business School in Barcelona and on the advisory boards of Terroir fund in San Francisco, TPH Asset Management in Houston, and Friends of the British Museum in London. Clark also serves on the boards of The Family Office in Bahrain, the Andrea Frank Foundation, the Committee on Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, and the Belfer Center at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
