Behind every successful entrepreneur is a humble beginning, raw passion for building something great out of nothing, and a relentless drive to push beyond the challenging moments to turn a dream into reality.


Destined to be his own boss, early on in his life Michael Babcock embodied the entrepreneurial spirit. Inspired by the engineering, beauty, and sleek lines of sports cars, Michael saw an opportunity to become a business owner. As President/CEO of Anywhere Automotive he has spent 30 years' building a successful shop and career as a ASE certified master technician, managing the day-to-day business negotiations, marketing to new clients, tracking inventory, and managing employees while increasing sales to over $500,000 in annual income.


As a true entrepreneur, Michael has always been open to new technologies and opportunities. It is not surprising that as he continued to see his automotive company succeed he also found the passion and drive to explore a lucrative opportunity in the telecommunications industry, with a company called ACN. It was here that he learned and polished his skills in generating business, closing sales, public speaking, negotiating, managing and training. It wasn't long after he started that he became the #1 top producer in the company and was promoted to Regional Vice President. ACN was one of the fastest growing, privately held companies in the U.S. at that time. Michael was responsible for training over 6,000 people capturing 85,000 customers and earning $18 million in revenue for the company in less than 24 months. He was also responsible for managing and developing people to grow new markets in the U.S. and Canada, working on presentations, speaking engagements and coordinating business/sales event.


In his next venture, as co-founder/Vice President and Director of Marketing/Sales of Boresha International, Michael further added to his already impressive success record and expert skill set. With his strong leadership skills and training experience he developed and managed the company's sales training program and field representatives, building a massive distributor force of over 44,000 distributors throughout the United States. Michael helped Boresha exploded into an impressive 24,000 representatives in salesforce at their home office in Walnut Creek, California and obtain a coffee roasting facility in Livermore that brought in little over $22M in gross sales in 2012, topping the company's six-year sales to over 60 Million in gross revenue.. Though limited in his experience and academic background in writing contracts, he helped write and designed the front and back end of Boresha's most successful Compensation Plan. He developed the websites, wrote programs, launched product, and managed multiple teams of 10-100 people, helped train, develop, and managed over 40,000 sales people. True to his nature, Michael brought a unique combination of vision, experience, passion, multi-tasking, and dedication to all aspects of the business, making him instrumental in Boresha Internationals fast-paced market penetration and growth.

Liliana Fontes

Co-founder and Vice President

Liliana Fontes wants to live in a world filled with innovative businesses, where time travel is a reality, and learning a new language is as easy as pushing a red "easy" button. Like most entrepreneurs, Liliana has been a constant innovator and explorer, always looking to understand and discover new ways to express her creativity and connect with the world around her. As a starving college student working at a software company, Liliana discovered she had a natural talent for connecting with customers and using her sunny disposition to motivating them to explore new ways to expand their market or develop their brands, ideas, or products. It was then that her passion for business and innovation grew and combined with her education in communications and human nature propelled her to a career in Marketing Communications and Advertising.

While still committed to finishing her education at UC Berkeley and following her passion for psychology and communications, she also eagerly absorb as much knowledge and training as she could at work. She was quickly promoted across departments (accounting, tech support, sales) and ultimately becoming Marketing Director where she managed the company's marketing strategy, internal and external communications, brand development, event planning, website design and content creation, internal training programs, and customer support and account management. Before leaving the company, Liliana successful launched several products while seamlessly working with intellectual and creative minds, from software engineers to sales representatives, from top executives to website designers to journalists. She also designed and implemented the company's first e-commerce site, and rebranded their corporate sponsored university scholarship programs, developed their on-line training courses, and on-line learning center that greatly expanded their market.

A few years later she expanded her family, adding yet another very important role as mother to her already impressive history of accomplishments. She then served as Marketing and Business Development Consultant for LG CNS, a consulting arm for the global electronics giant LG. Liliana provided contract support in event planning, expanded business development opportunities, and developed creative/targeted corporate communications.

In March, 2010 Liliana served as Marketing Director and Event Planner at Boresha International. It was at this time that IBIS's powerful creative partnership would have its roots. While working at Boresha International, Liliana and Michael Babcock met and a wonderful friendship and partnership began. Both shared a strong entrepreneurial spirit, and vision and passion for innovative thinking and collaborating which five years later would result in the creation of IBIS.

While at Boresha International, Liliana advanced the company's marketing and branding strategies by restructuring their sales events, rebranding their marketing materials, product packaging, and training materials. Her combined efforts helped Boresha bring $22M in gross sales in 2012. She also planned and executed the company's first National Conference and highest attended event, along with four annual regional events and over a dozen reseller/referral partner marketing events that showed an increase in customer referrals and acquisitions.

After leaving Boresha International, Liliana founded a marketing consulting firm, LAF Marketing where she worked with a diverse range of industries, from Health and Wellness, to Childcare, to Food and Beverage. Not long after, Liliana partnered with Michael Babcock to launch Innovative Business Investments Solutions (IBIS) and help others entrepreneurs build their dream company.

As Co-founder and Vice President of Strategic Marketing and Communications for IBIS, Liliana is responsible for the company's Marketing Strategy, Corporate Communications, Partner Relations, Public Relations and Advertising, Brand Loyalty Programs, and Event Management.

A twenty year marketing and business relations veteran, Liliana directs all strategic marketing and performance initiatives, brand recognition and loyalty programs, overseeing operational effectiveness, talent acquisition, and leadership development.

Renee Reed

Director of Sales and Marketing

For the past 25 years Renee has been one of the most sought after trainers in the Industry of Network Marketing. During this time she has maintained a Top Platinum level in 4 separate Companies and has raised 5 amazing children.

"Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be." Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Renee found inspiration in many creative ways to quench her 'thirst for life' as she worked herself through college in Michigan. She received a Marketing and Finance degree, earned a Series 7 license, went in to the Sales arena, and became a mother. Her sunny spirit stays bright and contagious by achieving personal goals, but her heart is so big that she finds more delight in helping others be successful.

She was brought-up with high values and expectations from her wonderful parents, and they had the blessing to watch her alter people's lives to be what they desired. At a younger age she knew that having a boss and 'clocking in to work' was not for her. A lesson she observed was while she helped others be successful, her success always grew higher and higher. Moreover, she is too modest to tell anyone how many awards she has won with her teams, but it is a LOT!

Medals, sky-rocketing numbers, and traveling are all a blessing to harness, however, Renee says that her biggest and best accomplishment was raising 5 incredible and talented children. They have always been raised in a networking family, very social as Renee has offered friends a room to stay in if they are in town for business and pleasure (the two are the same to Renee!). She can juggle it all; she's a mentor, leader, mother, cheerleader to all, and the best of friend! She is easy to love and fun to work with... but don't be fooled by all her marvelous charms because she expects high input for marvelous output to be commendable. There is a lot to learn from her so when you get a moment; she would love to meet you.

Greatest accomplishments : Everyone has a reason "Why?" which means why they are the first in the office and last to leave, why they work so hard, and more. But why does each person do this? Every answer is different and in fact will change over the phases of life, but she knew that her careers in finance and sales were not in her future. Renee's "Why" has been the same for the past 30 years while working- help others, make a future for her kids, and keep a zeal for life.

Now after about 25 years of experience in the Networking Marketing field, speaking in-front of thousands, being an example to others, and breaking numerous barriers to become Platinum status in 4 companies with over 80,000 people... she now craves more! So, she turns to the man who emanates success while helping people and breaking goals himself, which is her motto, which is no other than Michael Babcock. Renee is extremely excited to join the ISIB team, learn from Michael, lead others, and contribute anything possible

"Power isn't control at all--power is strength, and giving that strength to others. A leader isn't someone who forces others to make him/her stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his/her strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own" (Beth Revis).
