Frank caught the entrepreneurial bug while working for an entrepreneurial conferencing company while still studying at York University.
His original plan of studying law was postponed indefinitely when he found a passion for audio conferencing sales.
Within a year, that company was purchased by Bell Canada and from that point forward being frustrated by the newly introduced bureaucracy and what he felt was the soul being sucked out of the organization, Frank set his targets on striking out on his own to start his own venture.
Being a history and political science major and having no experience in business planning or raising capital, this new found dream took over five years to finally materialize.
This led to frustration with the lack of infrastructure in fostering entrepreneurialism in Canada which later led to his passion for supporting entrepreneurial efforts with students, young and experienced entrepreneurs and within the entire Wish Group itself.
Frank firmly believes the reason for his continued success is due to investing in talent.
This mantra has led to a long succession of achievements starting with Enunciate Conferencing, which Frank co-founded in 2001.
Within five years, Enunciate launched nine collaboration products founded upon leading-edge technology and impeccable customer service.
With the intention of replicating Enunciate’s success, Frank continued to start or purchase several different companies in the telecommunications, human resources and technology/media space.
