Clyde Parker

My duty in the US Navy sent me to the Cuban missile blockade as well as a brief tour of Vietnam. After my hitch, I graduated from North Carolina State University and worked in the manufacturing field for most of my career. I have written two books on managerial effectiveness.

I have now retired from my international consulting business, Starsixsigma, and spent a lot of time in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, India, Australia, Singapore, Bangkok and other areas of the world. Frequently I served as the Chairperson of International manufacturing engineering conferences and lead executive discussion panels.

A very memorable event, I completed a program of study at Oxford University in England.

I was honored with an appointment to the board of the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award as well as the Shingo Prize for Operational Excellence. As a Professional Safety Engineer, I was appointed to the Motorsports Advisory Panel and the Oil & Gas Advisory Panel for the Society of Manufacturing Engineers.

I have a home in Mooresville, NC near Charlotte and enjoy traveling all over the world with my wife Ann.
