Industry Veteran Jim Clark Joins Executive Summary

Executive Summary is excited to announce that Jim Clark is joining the company as a Managing Partner, bringing his experience and expertise in turning research into influence.

Jim has a long string of successes working with global organizations to help them make sense of the market and set the agenda for what comes next.

At Econsultancy, Jim led the partnered research division, delivering programs for enterprise clients and building thought leadership that led the conversation in marketing and technology.

In 2018 he took over Adobe’s long-established Digital Trends research and grew it into one of the industry’s most cited studies. The program helped Adobe exceed lead-generation goals and shape the conversation on customer experience and emerging technologies.

Previously Jim served as Global Research Lead at Accenture Interactive, directing multi-million-dollar programs that guided marketing and CX strategy worldwide. Earlier roles at the IPA, Golley Slater, and Mintel, plus a first step at BBH London working on accounts including Google, round out a career that bridges agency, consultancy, and in-house expertise. Along the way, Jim has become known for making complex findings sound almost simple.

Outside of work, he’s a self-confessed geek who enjoys tinkering with agentic AI tools in the hope of making life easier – though his family sometimes wonders if he’s making it more complicated.

We couldn’t be happier to have him on board as we expand to fulfil Executive Summary’s mission: helping organizations capture attention and act decisively with insight they can trust.
