Executive Leadership

Sherrone Blake Lobban

Co‑Founder & Managing Partner | Strategic & Operating Model Advisor

Sherrone Blake Lobban is a strategic advisor, former United Nations diplomat, and Co‑Founder of MARKIBLAK Group Inc., where she advises executive teams navigating growth, organizational complexity, and high‑stakes decision environments.

Her work focuses on operating models, leadership effectiveness, and governance—specifically how organizations make decisions, align execution, and sustain leadership capacity as scale increases. She is recognized for diagnosing structural constraints that often present as performance or people problems, and for designing systems that hold under pressure.

Sherrone began her career in international diplomacy, serving on United Nations missions and expert panels in complex, politically sensitive environments. In these settings, clarity of authority, disciplined execution, and governance were not aspirational concepts but operational necessities. This experience continues to shape her consulting approach: diagnosis before prescription, systems before behavior change, and calm judgment under pressure.

In parallel with her diplomatic work, Sherrone is a proven entrepreneur and operator. She founded and scaled the Project Management Global Institute (PMGI), bootstrapping it into an award‑winning, multi‑million‑dollar organization serving professionals and leaders globally. She has advised organizations across public and private sectors at inflection points where informal structures no longer scale.

She has been recognized for her leadership and impact, including being named among Kelowna’s Top 40 Over 40 (2025), and contributes regularly to leadership and strategy discourse through executive programs, writing, and advisory work.
