Updated: Oct 31, 2025

Tony Hulbert was named one of FranchiseWire’s Power Players, which is comprised of the most influential professionals in the franchising world.

Hulbert’s path to becoming CEO of HorsePower Brands wasn’t typical. He shaped his leadership style with experience as a CPA, CFO, sales executive, and investor.

“My career path has been anything but traditional,” Hulbert said.

Today, he leads one of the fastest-growing home service franchise companies in the U.S. Founded in 2021 and based in Omaha, Nebraska, HorsePower Brands has expanded from its first concept, Mighty Dog Roofing, to a diverse portfolio that includes nine home service brands.

“Purpose-driven. Team-first. Relentless,” Hulbert said. “Our culture is entrepreneurial at its core, and everyone shows up committed to our franchisees’ success.”

For Hulbert, franchising is about community and collaboration.

“You don’t build a business,” he said. “You build people, and the people build the business.”
