Biography

Moore School alumna Gabriele (Koebler) Clark is Director of Alumni Relations, Moore School of Business, University of South Carolina.  Clark says she will focus on “ further strengthening the partnership between the alumni community and the Moore School through value-added programs.”

Prior to joining the Moore School, Clark served in Mexico for PPG Industries as Global Director of Business Process Improvement in the Automotive Coatings area.  She was responsible for leading change to a more quality-driven organization by establishing an infrastructure to support increased utilization of Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to deliver improved business results.  Clark began her career with PPG - a Fortune 500 company that manufactures coatings, chemicals, and glass -  as an internal auditor and advanced through a series of finance positions in Birmingham, England; Paris, France; and Detroit, Michigan.  She was then named Global Product Manager for automotive clearcoat and was responsible for new product development. She transitioned to Mexico as Project Manager for automotive coatings before assuming her most recent role.

During her time at PPG, Clark was an avid supporter of the Moore School.  As the key link between PPG and the business school, she recruited students for full-time jobs and secured numerous internships for graduate students over the years.  She also served as president of Moore’s European alumni group and then, along with a committee of alumni, founded the global alumni organization, GAIN, and served as its first president.

A native of Germany, Clark grew up in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and has also lived and worked in Belgium, the UK, France, Germany, and Mexico.  She speaks English, German, French, and Spanish.
