Blake Thompson
In this new role, Thompson will lead QGC’s charitable giving and outreach strategy, including expanding relationships with existing QFoundation partners such as Folds of Honor, Shelter KC, and Rescue Hill. He will also serve as a strategic advisor on marketing and brand strategy, ensuring the company’s mission remains central across its expanding portfolio.
“QFoundation is personal to us. It is one way we show up for people who serve, support families, and help young people see what is possible,” said Jeannie Williams, co-chair of QFoundation and President of QGC. “Blake’s experience building trusted platforms, paired with his own record of service, makes him exactly the kind of leader who exemplifies our core values.”
Thompson joins QGC following a distinguished 30-year tenure at Ramsey Solutions, where he served as Executive Vice President. Working alongside founder Dave Ramsey, Thompson helped grow Ramsey Solutions into a nationally recognized media company with more than 1,000 employees, 10 podcasts, national radio syndication, and an expanding digital platform.
Beyond his corporate leadership, Thompson is a dedicated humanitarian. He has spent several years working to dismantle the cycle of debt-slavery in Pakistan, successfully helping to free over 2,200 families trapped in bonded labor. Thompson now brings that humanitarian focus directly to QFoundation’s mission.
“I’ve spent my career helping build platforms that impact people’s lives, but the work that has shaped me most has been walking alongside families fighting for their freedom,” said Thompson. “QFoundation’s mission of strengthening families, honoring those who serve, and giving young people a real shot at their future is work I already believe in with my whole heart. I’m grateful for the chance to help build it alongside Chad, Jeannie, and this entire team.”
“Throughout his career, Blake has demonstrated that meaningful impact comes from building organizations that serve people well,” said Chad Williams, co-chair of QFoundation and CEO of QGC. “His experience, leadership, and commitment to service make him uniquely qualified to help expand QFoundation’s reach and strengthen our broader mission.”
Thompson’s appointment marks the foundation’s first executive-level role dedicated to advancement and outreach. His appointment reflects QGC’s continued investment in aligning business growth with community impact, while expanding QFoundation’s work in support of veterans, first responders, families, and future leaders.
