Blain Rethmeier is a self-described adrenaline junkie who thrives on stepping into high- stakes challenges.
Whether its public affairs, government or crisis communications, Blain has more than 20 year’s experience as a trusted advisor to Fortune 500 companies, C-suite executives and startup CEOs in Silicon Valley.
He has also worked at the highest levels of government, including The White House, U.S. Department of Justice and both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Additionally, he has worked on behalf of many highly regulated industries, helping to educate policymakers, consumers and influencers through compelling messaging, data, research and public-facing campaigns.
Blain has a deep understanding of the political landscape and the policy-making process, as well as a strong network of contacts and relationships across various industries and sectors. Prior to joining the 76 Group, Blain served as vice president of public affairs for Hims & Hers, where he helped the telemedicine startup expand to all 50 states while increasing their services to include primary care and mental health amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
A native of Colorado, Blain returned to the state in 2022 to work with the 76 Group and its increasingly diverse roster of clients. Blain also works for Blitz and helps oversee its national training program for the many canvassing teams it employs.
Blain, who has two sons and a daughter, lives in Cherry Creek with his fiancée from Brazil, Gisele, and their ragdoll cat Nikki. When he’s not working, he’s outdoors doing something physical, including training for the 50k race he intends to run when he turns 50.
