Barry Clark

Founder & CEO, WestFax

Barry Clark is the founder and CEO of WestFax and a fax communications subject matter expert with more than 27 years of industry experience. He founded WestFax in 1999 from a 700-square-foot bungalow in Denver, where fax lines ran through every room and cords were taped along the baseboards. With no outside investors and no established playbook, Barry built the company around a problem he understood deeply: making business-critical fax communications more reliable, secure, and scalable.

He has led WestFax ever since, helping grow the company from a small Denver operation into a nationwide cloud fax provider serving healthcare organizations, enterprises, government agencies, and other highly regulated industries.
