Paul Tobey
Long before Paul was orchestrating marketing plays, he was an award winning composer and pianist orchestrating symphonies, literally. So bringing thousands of moving parts to make a company’s marketing perform beautifully was literally just math and music for Paul. Since 2007, Paul Tobey has been featured on stages across the world as a thought leader in Digital Marketing. As CEO of Training Business Pros he’s brought the company to be Canada’s Top Digital Marketing Training Company. Training Business Pros has trained over 50,000 business owners across Canada and the USA, helping them earn millions. Paul is author of 2 published books: Suggestology and BDO#1. TBP is now home to an Elite Super Cell that helps reverse engineer sales pipelines and implement digital marketing strategies for companies in most business verticals. In 2014, Paul also founded TBP Marketing, the agency arm of the business that takes care of an elite class of clients, a portfolio reserved for a select few who work with Paul’s Elite Digital Marketing Team.
Nancy Houle
Nancy Houle is in charge of day to day operations including Finance, Legal, HR, Insurance, and business development. If Nancy is not setting up partnerships with International partners, she’ll be setting up strategic relations with sponsors or government funding bodies. As co-founder of TBP, Nancy has witnessed the company serve well over 50 thousand companies. The team celebrates it’s 10 year anniversary in November 2017. In 2014, Training Business Pros added the agency division to it’s service of offerings, bringing Business Pros Marketing into the fold of digital marketing boutique firms serving a portfolio of businesses that include retail, distribution, manufacturing and online properties in an array of industry verticals.
Adrian
Adrian is the resident tech genius. He is the lead developer of FormLift and is responsible for much of the cool automation that Training Business Pros uses to run the company. Adrian regularly writes for the TBP blog to help small businesses employ what they might usually believe to be super complicated strategies, as well as occasionally hosts the Business Heroes group to train business owners and give step by step tutorials to implement complex automation. The only thing he enjoys more than cycling on the weekends is seeing other companies having big wins as a direct result of Training Business Pros’ efforts.
Michael O
Moving to Canada over a year ago, a fresh faced Michael left his native land of Ireland to follow his dreams and continue to build on an impressive resume of media work for a variety of different companies. Whilst his fresh face is no more, going by his trademark full beard, Michael has settled into life in Canada like a duck to water and has found himself right where he needs to be…as an awesome member of TBP. From filming professional sports teams like Liverpool F.C., to dipping his toes into the studio world while working on HBO and Marvel properties, Michael has brought that experience to the TBP Team launching new projects such as TBP TV, producing/editing sizzle reels and bringing his own brand of humor to Business Pros Radio podcasts. Fun facts: He doesn’t drink beer (wheat intolerant), he’s a little OCD organizing gear, and he’s really a genuine all around creative & happy guy!
Atty
As our lead Graphic and Web Designer, Atty has more than 10 years in Graphic and Web Design. She joined TBP after a 6 years stint with a popular magazine where Atty had to develop both the online and offline print material for the magazine and it’s clients. Her portfolio of design was impressive, so this combined with her computer science studies and strong knowledge of WordPress Web Design made her a natural choice for TBP. Atty works on our Deep Dive team and along with our digital marketing strategists, complete’s website make-overs and integrates sales funnels and lifecycle marketing.
Gabriel
Originally from Romania, Gabriel joined his wife in Canada in 2007. With a University education in accounting and finance he landed his first Canadian job as an accountant in the mobile/hardware company. When the company was sold, he joined one of Canada’s leading Dermatology clinics’ and continued to take care of day to day financial operations. Gabriel joins TBP with “Best in Class” recommendations as he helps head us into new growth plans.
