Paresh Vadavia

Paresh Vadavia started off his affiliate marketing career in 2006 by working for a major online jewellery retailer. In 2008, after only two years of building his network, expertise, and reputation, Paresh gained enough recognition and praise from industry peers that he was bestowed LinkShare’s Golden Link Publisher’s Choice Award, for which he was nominated again in 2009. That same year, in an attempt to seize the moment and make the most of the opportunities before him, Paresh made the bold decision to start his own business and co-found OPM Pros, an affiliate management agency. Today, Paresh is a bona fide industry expert. A recent 2014 EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, he counts among his many successes two LinkShare Golden Link Agency of the Year awards, a growing roster of 80+ notable clients—including ALDO Group, 1800Flowers.com, BeyondTheRack.com, Staples Canada, Forever 21 Canada, Garage, Roots —and a thriving company of over 30 employees that is expanding globally into the UK and Australia.
