Tobi Pearce

CEO of EzLicence

A business enthusiast from his early teens, Tobi's journey is a testament to the power of transformative leadership and innovative thinking. As the founder and CEO of Sweat, he spearheaded the company's meteoric rise, achieving ~$100m in annual revenue and amassing over 50 million members across nearly 200 countries—all within five years, without external funding. This remarkable achievement led to his recognition as EY’s Entrepreneur Of The Year in Australia, alongside forging significant partnerships with giants like Apple and Meta.

At the young age of 28, Tobi orchestrated a nine-figure exit of Sweat to a US-based strategic acquirer, marking a significant milestone in his entrepreneurial journey. Following this success, he facilitated a seamless leadership transition, setting the stage for Sweat's continued growth under its COO.

Tobi's entrepreneurial spirit was ignited in personal training and health consulting, eventually evolving into internet business ventures, including the creation of Sweat. His passion for business and investment began in his early teens, driven by an insatiable curiosity to solve complex problems that positively impact lives worldwide.

In addition to his achievements with Sweat, Tobi has founded nearly ten other businesses and engaged in early-stage investments, viewing each as a character-building opportunity. His venture into the driver licensing industry through EzLicence showcases his adeptness at scaling businesses, now focusing on its international expansion after successfully raising over $6m in funding.

Currently, Tobi is expanding his horizons in investing and advisory roles, working with over 15 companies across diverse sectors such as property, professional services, mining, legal, tech, retail, and ecommerce. His experience as an entrepreneur and operator enriches his mentorship, offering invaluable insights to the next generation of business leaders. Tobi Pearce's journey from a personal trainer to a global business influencer illustrates his profound impact on the entrepreneurial landscape, making him a beacon of innovation and success.
