Blake Winters

Manager at Thought Ensemble

Blake graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering. This curriculum exposed him to both business and engineering concepts, and most crucially, the importance of the interconnections between the two. During his college tenure, Blake held an extended internship as an internal process developer for a finance and insurance automotive company where he engaged with stakeholders to develop and implement technology-based solutions for automating and improving their business functionality.

After college, Blake decided to pursue consulting and joined Deloitte Consulting. There he worked with a myriad of clients, helping them implement and maximize technology solutions, which in turn enabled them to adapt to their unique business challenges and opportunities. With a strong understanding of how a business should work, and how technology/engineering should be best applied, Blake is able to help clients identify inefficiencies, ideate on alternative approaches, identify the optimal solutions based on defined criteria, and enact a clear plan to follow through on those solutions.

In addition, Blake had the opportunity to lead the fact-checking team for the book “Work Disrupted” by author Jeff Schwartz, which takes a deep dive into the future of work and how this future was accelerated by COVID-19.

In his spare time, Blake enjoys supporting the local Dallas professional sports teams, as well as his alma mater (the Oklahoma Sooners), exercising, basketball, snow skiing, fishing, cooking, and travelling to find new experiences.
