Dean Pichee founded BizLibrary in 1996, to provide affordable, high-quality, training resources to small and mid-sized organizations across all industries. A training industry veteran, he realized there was a gap in the marketplace for these smaller companies with limited training resources and budgets. Pichee built a lending library of video and DVD training programs that smaller companies could borrow and exchange, by partnering with a variety of industry-leading producer partners. His idea created buzz in the industry, and within a few years, BizLibrary's lending library of video-based programs boasted over 50 vendor partners, with thousands of programs that hundreds of clients nationwide were utilizing to meet their diverse training and development needs. To further serve the small and mid-sized market, and utilize growing technologies, Pichee released BizLibrary's e-Learning solution, with off-the-shelf courseware from vendors such as SkillSoft; as well as a hosted learning management system, called CompanyCollege, in 2001.
Prior to founding BizLibrary, Pichee founded and sold Capital Training Company, a training solutions provider for banks and financial institutions. Before founding Capital Training Company, Pichee served as the Vice President for Bankers Training, also a training provider for the financial training industry. Dean has served on the board of directors of leading trade associations for learning providers, including the Digital Learning Organization, and its predecessor, Training Media Association. He has also served on the board for the MS Society of St. Louis. Dean earned a business degree from Washington University.
