Our founder, Robert Tibbs, is a global entrepreneur who, himself, has taken the journey of crossing the opportunity divide.  Born into poverty, he went from a high school dropout working as a housepainter, joined the military at age 17, and studied during his military service, graduating Summa Cum Laude in Behavioral Science from State University of New York Institute of Technology. He then took his first corporate roles, first in HR then in Sales & Marketing, after which he moved into consulting a few years later, where he was exposed to his first international experience.

After emigrating to Switzerland to build his consulting practice, he found his first entrepreneurial opportunity. Thirty years later his journey took him from being a housepainter to a dual-national, bi-lingual, global technology entrepreneur who has lived and worked on four continents.

After returning to the US, Robert spent over two years working closely with youth development non-profits, philanthropists, foundations, corporations, and technology training organizations.

From this work, it was clear that a new paradigm was needed, one that meant bringing together all of the key elements that would provide untapped talent with a full runway from which to take off... in one holistic ecosystem.  

None existed, so he founded ConSol USA to build it.
