Clive Mecham

A dedicated lifetime learner with a passion for helping businesses and individuals grow and develop. I have served others while in executive roles, and enjoy surrounding myself with talented individuals, collaborating on tactics and strategies for exceptional performance and continuous improvement. Primary responsibilities throughout my career have included Operations Management, Strategic Planning, Succession Planning, Organizational Growth, Market Sector Leadership and Business Development. All while ensuring top line revenue growth, and increased efficiency of operation. I grew up in rural Utah (coal country) and learned and appreciate the values of hard work, the importance of community, and how being a “team player” results in success. I am dedicated to family and enjoy outdoor adventures in the Rocky Mountains and sharing experiences with my kids and grandkids, in the US and Australia.
