Anton Rabie

Anton Rabie is an entrepreneur, business builder, and co-founder and Chair of Spin Master, the global entertainment company behind some of the world's most successful children's brands. From an $11,000 inital investment, Anton helped grow the business into a $2 billion global company with over 2,000 employees across 28 countries. During his 28 years as Co-CEO, he led more than 30 acquisitions, including Tech Deck, Meccano, Rubik's Cube, and Melissa and Doug, and spearheaded the company's international expansion into offices across more than 20 countries. Anton and his co-founders have been inducted into both the Canadian Toy Hall of Fame and the Toy Industry Hall of Fame, and were recognized with the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Ontario Lifetime Achievement Award of Excellence in 2025. Anton's approach, rooted in instinct, complementary partnerships, and a deliberate tolerance for failure, produced PAW Patrol, now the number one preschool property worldwide reaching 350 million households, and Toca Boca, the number one downloaded kids app globally with close to 60 million monthly active users. He draws on decades of experience building brands, developing talent, expanding internationally, and creating a culture where experimentation and learning drive results. Anton brings to the stage the decisions, risks, and missteps behind one of Canada's most consequential entrepreneurial stories. He makes a compelling case for leaning into difference rather than conforming to convention, in hiring, in strategy, and in personal development. Audiences gain practical lessons on entrepreneurial leadership, fostering innovation, building complementary teams, navigating growth, and turning individual strengths into competitive advantages. For organizations seeking a proven perspective on growth, culture, and long-term value creation, Anton brings lessons tested at global scale.
