Born into a family of independent retail grocers in northeastern Oklahoma, Blake Bowersock grew up surrounded by produce, canned goods, a meat market, refrigerated and frozen foods, and customers looking for quality and value. In a world without barcodes and scanners, he was running a cash register by age 10.
Blake's rich consulting career began in 2003 working for Accenture based in Dallas. After eight years of weekly, cross-country travel and Texas heat, he relocated to Chicago to help shape EY's (Ernst & Young's) re-emerging advisory practice. After five more years of 100% travel, including to the Middle East, he launched his own independent consultancy in 2016, putting roots down in Charlotte, NC.
It was from this turning point in Charlotte that Blake seized an opportunity to contract with Lowe's Companies HR department for nearly three years and then the renowned Kates Kesler Organization Consulting, now part of Accenture, where he grew his craft of and passion for organization design consulting.
