Company Founders
Eleanor and Tom Dobbert
Co-Founders
High school sweethearts Tom and Eleanor Dobbert founded The Dobbert Companies around the same time their son, Mike Dobbert (now CEO of the company), was born. Tom oversaw all of the day-to-day services delivery, while Eleanor directed accounting. They now provide sage advice to the “youngsters” running the company.
Jim Dobbert
Project Management Process Guru
Tom Dobbert’s brother joined The Dobbert Companies forty years ago and helped us create a project management function and process for the company. He was responsible for organizing and delivering some of the company’s largest and most complex projects, and continues to advise our teams on how to best manage and execute a Dobbert initiative…when he’s not busy restoring vehicles (like his beloved Model T)!
