The C-Suite Insider: Clif Bar CEO Kevin Cleary Pays Workers to Exercise 2.5 Hours a Week

What do you eat when you’re throwing up your feet?

As the leader of a health foods company, it’s not surprising that Cleary is a fan of salads and vegetables, but his favorite foods during his celebratory moods are a different story.

“I celebrate with a glass of Zin or a Cab, then it’s with a big bowl of pasta with my grandmother’s sauce,” he said. “That’s been handed down two generations to my wife, who still makes it, and my mom. It reminds me of her and where we’ve come from. I’m of Italian decent. It’s a ragu, it’s hearty. I actually don’t know the recipe, but my wife and my mom know it. The boys don’t know it.”

Favorite music and TV?

“I am a huge country music fan. I love Tim McGraw and Blake Shelton.”

American Ninja Warrior is his favorite television show.

“My kids now want me to build an obstacle course in our backyard.”

And yes, he would try out to be on the show.

“I’ve kicked it around with some of our trainers at work. I would,” he said. “Right now, I have my sight set on a half Ironman next year, but after that I would love to give that a shot.”
