“I had the privilege of working with Blake during a really pivotal time for our team, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most capable, strategic, and respected professionals I’ve worked with—and what I quickly came to appreciate most about him was the way he led with clarity, calm, and integrity. Blake has a unique ability to bring people together, and rally a team around a common purpose even when things are complex or fast-moving. As I was focused on growth and performance of our hotel property, Blake was my second in command and responsible for the 24/7 operations. Under his leadership, our team earned back-to-back National #1 rankings in the brand for guest services—a huge accomplishment that reflected not only operational excellence, but a strong, positive team culture that Blake helped create and sustain. Inder Blake’s leadership we score in the 96th percentile in QA. It didn’t hurt that we also saw record revenues during this period and Blake was responsible for daily rate strategy. What stood out most to me was how much people trusted him—myself included. He listens, he communicates clearly, and he makes people feel seen and supported while still holding a high bar for performance. People always felt supported, aligned, and motivated to do their best work when Blake was involved. He’s the kind of leader who makes a lasting impact, and any organization would benefit from working with him. Many years after working with him, Blake and I still stay in touch and he’s become not just a former colleague, but a friend. John R Bersch Senior Vice President of Hotel Operations ”
