From Mobile Lemonade Stands To Harvard Business School
Shelby Clark was born in suburban Denver. Colorado.
As far back as when he was just five years old, he was flexing his entrepreneurial spirit. Not only did he have a lemonade stand with a friend, but when sales were slow, they would get out there, door to door, selling their product from a wagon.
After his father passed away, Shelby says that he became very intrigued with technology and the body and if there could be large-scale innovations in healthcare that would help a lot of people. That led him to take on a challenging college major in biomedical engineering.
His first job out of college landed him in management consulting. It was a path to learning more about the business side of things, to complement what he had learned about medicine and technology already.
He found management consulting beneficial in learning how to quickly familiarize himself with a completely new space. He was thrown into airline maintenance, t-shirt manufacturing, and oil exploration.
