Felipe Patrick Tilos

Proudly Serving: Sobeys #5191, Calgary, AB

Position: Grocery Manager

Core Value: Get It Done with Passion and Integrity

Originally from the Philippines, Felipe Tilos travelled to 28 countries around the world in a previous career before immigrating to Canada in 2012; he visited Calgary during the Stampede and loved the city enough to stay. Sobeys was intended to be a temporary job when he first arrived, but he grew to love the company too, and moved up the ranks quickly, and for good reason. “His enthusiasm and passion are contagious to me and the entire team,” wrote his manager. “Felipe is always smiling, laughing, volunteering to help and he wants to continue to advance in the company.” Known for always jumping in to help and for innovation such as improved shellfish storage, Felipe says “always encourage people to be kind. For my team, I want to build that culture of kindness and customer service.” For Felipe, acting with integrity influences everything he does. “It covers trust, being honest even though nobody is watching, and ensuring people can rely on you to get the job done — without doing it for credit.”
