Meet Our HR Consulting Team

 

Michael Tope – Founder

As the visionary for CBR in 1998, Michael attracted and supported our very first clients. After several years of both PEO and construction experience, he found his talents were best utilized creating solutions for clients. He was always searching for ways to make his clients more successful in the PEO offering and that has not changed today.

Michael’s path is the one of almost every American business entrepreneur…finding ways to succeed in a competitive marketplace, never taking anything for granted, and personally taking care of clients when needed. With 20 years of experience as an entrepreneur and sales executive, Michael brings a multitude of assets to the CBR team and clients. Michael has served the industry association (NAPEO) in various capacities during the years, and holds his contractor’s license.
