As part of ABC News’ “C-Suite Insider” series, Cleary gave the lowdown on his personal habits and what makes him and Clif Bar tick.
Based in Emeryville, California, and founded in 1992, the company was named after founder Gary Erickson’s father, Clifford.
Cleary explained how he maintains an active schedule with three young sons. It helps that employees at the privately-held company are paid two and half hours each week of work time to exercise.
“We have a great gym,” Cleary told ABC News at the first annual Quickbooks Connect conference hosted by Intuit in San Jose, California, last week. “We encourage everyone to get out and exercise.”
