Paresh Vadavia

Paresh Vadavia began his affiliate marketing career in 2006 as Affiliate Manager for Ice.com and Diamond.com. In two short years, he made a name for himself thanks to hard work, dedication and networking skills. These qualities, among others, led to Paresh winning LinkShare’s Golden Link Publisher’s Choice Award in 2008 and earning a nomination for the same award the following year.

Today, with a digital marketing agency to call his own, vast industry recognition and valuable experience under his belt, Paresh has come a long way since earning his Computer Engineering degree from Concordia University. OPM Pros was named ‘Agency of the Year’ at the 2015 CJ You Awards hosted by CJ Affiliate by Conversant, and since its founding in 2009, OPM Pros has been named Winner of LinkShare’s ‘OPM Agency of the Year’ Golden Link Award three times in six years announced as Finalist. In 2014, Paresh, alongside Sonny, was named Finalist in the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, recognized for his “vision, leadership and financial success and social responsibility” as an Emerging Entrepreneur in the ever-growing online affiliate marketing channel.

Paresh is actively involved with and invited to a number of popular affiliate conferences; in May 2015, he was invited – and honoured – to serve as Chairperson at the prestigious eTail Canada conference in Toronto. Additionally, under the branded name PareshConnect.com, he hosts hot-ticket (and highly anticipated) networking parties several times a year.
