About

Scott Clark is an industrial real estate development leader and serial entrepreneur focused on creating high performance facilities that help manufacturers scale efficiently and operate competitively. Across his career, he has repositioned more than 2 million square feet of industrial and commercial space, turning underutilized assets into durable, production ready environments. Scott is part of the leadership team at Vintara Holdings, a platform built with a single purpose: deliver industrial facilities designed for operational performance and long term value. Over the past four years, Vintara has evolved out of Clark Capital’s foundation into a specialized industrial business committed to attracting manufacturers to the Southeast and building strong communities through durable, thoughtfully executed development. Beyond real estate, Scott brings a deeply entrepreneurial track record. He has raised more than 50M dollars in venture capital, co founded companies across energy, software, and auto tech, and helped lead large scale investment initiatives in energy efficiency. He also served the public sector as an appointee to North Carolina’s Economic Development Workforce Board, appointed in 2009 and reappointed in 2013 under Governors Bev Perdue and Pat McCrory. Today, Scott applies that same entrepreneurial mindset, combining site strategy, capital discipline, and execution to expand Vintara’s footprint and deliver facilities that help manufacturers move in, switch on, and scale fast.
