Donna Blakely AAMS™, MBA

Director of Operations

I am responsible for office management and customer relations at Blakely Financial. Since I am more in an operational role, I love knowing that the things I do behind the scenes can help our team be most efficient. I continue to be inspired by the difference that our BFI team makes in our clients’ lives each and every day.

Before working with Blakely Financial, I was a pharmaceutical sales representative with GlaxoSmithKline. I then became co-owner and general manager of the J.H. Adams Inn. With the experience gained in these service positions, I believe that no one is more important than the customer. My goal with Blakely Financial is to help us meet the needs of all of our clients through personalized attention and service.

I’m very passionate about giving back my time, talents, and treasures to my community. Volunteering with kids and being a mentor to them is one thing I feel very strongly about. My favorite activity has been teaching healthy cooking classes to fourth graders with CIS of Thomasville and Crockpot Cooking Classes taught by members of the Junior League of High Point for moms at the YWCA and The Salvation Army. Beyond volunteering, I enjoy cooking, gardening, and playing golf.
