Tribute names Tom Knoebel President
Since his start at Tribute in 1990 as a developer for the Tribute product, Knoebel has been instrumental in the company’s expansion. His career progressed when he was named TrulinX Development Manager in 2020 and later COO in 2023. Following its acquisition by Volaris Group — a portfolio group within Constellation Software that includes over 500 software companies — Tribute has emphasized nurturing the skills of its employees to ensure sustained success.
Now serving as the President of Tribute, Inc., Knoebel will be at the forefront, steering strategic planning and enhancing the functionality and features of our software offerings as we look ahead. Tom replaces Tribute’s former president, Susie Hopper, who retired from the company on May 14.
Cristina Wheless, Portfolio COO, said, “Susie Hopper’s retirement left big shoes to fill. Tom is, without a doubt, the best person to step up and shepherd the company forward. I’m incredibly happy to see someone with 30+ years in Tribute operations take on this important role. Tom understands our customers, our employees, and our technology. He’s a leader with a unique combination of integrity, empathy, and credibility within this industry. I look forward to all the good things ahead for Tribute customers, employees, and Tom! Congratulations!”
“It is both an honor and a privilege to step into the role of President of Tribute, leading a team committed to innovation, excellence, and customer relationships,” said Knoebel. “As a long-time employee, I’ve seen first-hand that this commitment is the true key to our success thus far, and I can assure you that will never change. We understand the vital role our software plays in our customer’s success, and we are dedicated to continuously enhancing our offerings to meet their evolving needs.”
