Welcome back to the more we know. The More we know, the more we grow! Today your mentor is Robert Blackwell Jr. the founder of Killerspin, the world’s leading table tennis engagement brand, and the founder of EKI-Digital, a digital investment consulting firm. Blackwell is also a former employer of then-state Senator Barack Obama, as well as a political supporter and personal friend of Obama.
Killerspin creates table tennis experiences that connect family/friends/customers and employees and is the world's leading producer of designer table tennis equipment and media. EKI-Digital helps organizations turn IT into money. EKI has helped organizations design, implement and manage business applications that have generated $Billions in revenue and savings.
Robert has also served on many civic boards. He currently serves the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, Civic Federation of Chicago, Business Leadership Council. He is also an executive committee to Choose Chicago. In addition to EKI-Digital and Killerspin, Blackwell founded a number of other companies. Those include Urban Fishing Development, Bytewise International and Blackwell Consulting Services. In May 2016, Blackwell presented Pope Francis with a customized ping-pong table for the Vatican. As Crain's Chicago Business put it, "Here's one way to get more people playing pingpong religiously: Get the pope on your side." Blackwell planned a table tennis showcase hosted by his company Killerspin called the "World Unplug and Play Day" in Vatican City in August 2016. The governing body of Italian table tennis came up with the idea to encourage ping-pong playing as a way to get people away from "technology-induced isolation.
