Charlotte A. Clark is Director of Ecosystem Engagement at the Greater Baltimore Committee, where she supports place-based economic development by helping entrepreneurial support organizations work together more effectively. Through shared tools, open systems, and stewarded coordination practices, she helps reduce duplication, strengthen collaboration, and build the connective infrastructure that allows local ecosystems to adapt and grow over time.
In her role, Clark supports GBC’s entrepreneurial ecosystem work through the Baltimore BASE Network, a cross-organizational collaboration of small business support organizations. As an Economic Recovery Corps Fellow with the International Economic Development Council, she partnered with Impact Hub Baltimore to strengthen network coordination and sense-making across the BASE Network, conducted discovery interviews to surface system gaps, and documented network infrastructure to support a transition to distributed leadership and collective action. Her work helped re-establish a shared foundation for the network and advance more coordinated support for entrepreneurs across Baltimore.
Clark brings a unique combination of technical depth and community-rooted practice to entrepreneurial ecosystem and economic development work. She began her career in software engineering before moving into early-stage product development, where she served as a startup CTO, Director of Product in an accelerator, and product advisor in multiple startup ecosystems. Earlier roles also include directing infrastructure and operational systems for community-focused organizations, coordinating venture fellowship programming, and supporting founder-facing innovation programs.
Across her career, Clark has focused on building the coordination capacity that complex ecosystems need to function well. Her work reflects a strengths-based, systems-oriented approach to entrepreneurship support, with experience spanning software, product management, ecosystem development, and cross-organizational collaboration.
