Jared Blake is Vice President, Advisor Growth & Advisor Solutions at Prime Quadrant, where he leads the firm's advisor expansion strategy. As the firm extends its platform beyond ultra-affluent families, Jared drives business development, strategic partnerships, and the distribution of Prime Quadrant's wealth and philanthropic solutions across third-party advisors and institutions.

With more than 20 years of experience in enterprise sales and leadership, Jared has built and scaled growth initiatives in complex, competitive markets. Prior to joining Prime Quadrant, he served as Vice President of Advisor Growth at Advisor Solutions by Purpose for close to five years, a fintech platform supporting portfolio managers in launching and expanding their practices. Earlier in his career, he spent fourteen years in global sales leadership roles at a SaaS business, partnering with C-suite executives across multinational organizations in the United States and Europe.

Jared got his start selling his own "art" door-to-door at age five and grew up working in his father's menswear business. Entrepreneurship was never a choice so much as a given.

Outside of work, Jared's proudest title is husband to his beautiful and hilarious wife, and father to a son with a jump shot he is passionately coaching from the sidelines and a daughter who splits her time between the ice and the stage. Coffee is how he keeps up.
