The ritual often revolved around Amazon, where Clark played a central role in building the logistics infrastructure that helped launch the e-commerce era. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p class=\"body-graf\">During those years, Leigh Anne was a sounding board for her husband. In the process, she had a front-row seat to Amazon\u2019s growth from what she called \u201ca baby to a behemoth.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-graf\">By the time Clark left Amazon in 2022, he was CEO of the Worldwide Consumer division and one of billionaire founder Jeff Bezos\u2019 top lieutenants.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"styles_inlineImage__FvnTh styles_medium__MEKii styles_portrait__NEQhG\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-02\/260203-auger-vl-149p-004-dcb13b.jpg\" alt=\"Dave Clark stands in an office with his arms crossed, posed for a portrait\" height=\"2000\" width=\"1600\"><figcaption class=\"caption styles_caption__TCewG\" data-testid=\"caption\"><span class=\"caption__container\" data-testid=\"caption__container\">Dave Clark at Auger headquarters Monday.<\/span><span class=\"caption__source\" data-testid=\"caption__source\">David Jaewon Oh for NBC News<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"body-graf\">But these days, Fridays for the Clarks look very different. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-graf\">Their dinner date has morphed into afternoon cocktails \u2014 a bourbon with Diet Coke for her and a Manhattan for him. And the conversation isn\u2019t focused on Amazon anymore. It\u2019s about Auger, the supply-chain startup they run together. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-graf\">In their first joint interview from Auger\u2019s Seattle office, the Clarks described how their marriage and complementary skill sets are shaping the company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-graf\">\u201cWe\u2019ve been together for so long that we kind of just read each other\u2019s minds,\u201d Leigh Anne said.
