“Verified Person is a rapidly growing on-demand screening company,” said Clark. “The company’s commitment to technological excellence and aggressive marketing made it an attractive opportunity for me. It is an exciting endeavor to build on an already successful sales team to take the company to the next level.”

Verified Person plans to double its sales and marketing force in 2008 and will expand operations in the Memphis and New York offices. Clark will be an instrumental player in this growth strategy.

Clark has a bachelor’s degree in psychology with an emphasis in business from the University of California Los Angeles, and an MBA from the University of Memphis. He will work from Verified Person’s downtown Memphis office and will report directly to the CEO.
