John Clark

Vice President of Finance

Give us a brief overview of your role.

My position is Vice President of Finance. I joined GSI over 5 years ago in 2019. I am responsible for reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and other accounting functions for the GSI accounting and finance team.

What is the most memorable moment you have had working for GSI?

The acquisition of Saturn Power in 2023 was a key initiative to propel GSI forward in the development, construction and operation of solar energy projects and I was excited to be a part of it and the continued growth and success of the company.

What led you to pursue a career in strategic finance, and more specifically in the renewable energy sector?

I pursued accounting and finance in college as it was a path to a focused career with opportunities to work in fast-paced, growth-oriented companies. I spent many years in leading companies in the technology industry and was excited to begin a career with GSI in the renewable energy sector which is growing rapidly and making a positive impact on our environment and planet.

Tell us one interesting fact about yourself that your colleagues might not know.

I was a military brat who was born in the Greater London area of England and included living in the Panama Canal Zone which helped shape my curiosities.

How do you spend your time outside of work?

I spend my time with my wife and three sons which includes going to their baseball, football and track events. We as a family also go to minor and major league baseball games locally and in different cities when traveling. We also spend as much time as possible at the beaches near us or on vacation.

What is one thing you’d like to cross off your bucket list?

I would like to visit Ireland with my wife and kids. I visited as a baby but that hardly counts.
