    Dan Park | Scaling Uber Eats, Disrupting Auto Retail, and Leading with Purpose

    Our guest today is a leader whose journey spans from the world of investment banking to transforming how Canadians buy cars. As CEO of Clutch, he’s turned the traditional used car experience into a seamless online marketplace, making buying a car as simple as ordering takeout. Before Clutch, he helped launch and scale Uber Eats across Canada, proving his ability to grow and lead fast-moving businesses in the tech-driven consumer space. But his story starts far from the boardroom—growing up in the Yukon, the kind of Canadian upbringing folks outside of Canada think about: building igloos, bobsledding, and braving sub-zero mornings before school. That foundation of grit and resourcefulness now fuels his leadership and vision. With a background in finance and a passion for innovation, he’s redefining what it means to scale Canadian startups with global ambition. Welcome to Growth Untold, Dan Park.
