Background

About Blake Omlie

Hello, my name is Blake Omlie. As a seasoned investment professional with over 30 years of global experience and a CFA designation, I bring a deep understanding of capital markets, institutional sales, private placements, and sector-specific expertise in Alternative Energy, Healthcare, and Technology.Most recently, I served as an Investment Management Consultant at Fidelity, where I guided managed account clients through annual reviews and strategic planning to help optimize their overall household asset allocation. While I valued my time there, I realized my background in international investment banking and portfolio strategy was being underleveraged.Earlier in my career, I worked with Global Investment Placements on high-yield energy-related income strategies, specialty pharmaceutical distribution, and early-stage medical technology advisory work. From 2014 to 2016, I was Executive Vice President at Northland Capital Markets in Minneapolis, focusing on institutional equity sales across Europe and select U.S. territories.My international tenure is anchored by over two decades in London, where I founded and led European Capital Markets operations for Piper Jaffray International, First Albany Capital, and Lazard Capital Markets International (1988–2011). During this time, I developed strong relationships with specialist portfolio managers and gained deep domain knowledge in emerging sectors including Renewables, Biotech, and Advanced Technology.Additionally, from 2011 to 2014, I held leadership roles in Houston at Boss Group, LLC and Ardour Capital Investments, driving private equity initiatives in Healthcare and CleanTech and originating global placements across public and private markets.I am now seeking to re-engage with a forward-thinking firm—ideally based in London or offering international scope—where I can apply my global capital markets expertise, strategic insight, and deep sector knowledge to drive value in next-generation technologies and institutional growth strategies.Let’s connect if your team is looking for a seasoned investment professional with proven global reach and deep industry focus.Please contact me by phone at (832) 350-4064 or by email at blakeomlie@gmail.com.
