Why we work with business owners to help them achieve their goals? My husband and I have had a very successful journey in the corporate landscape. We are now using our success and knowledge to work with business owners to sell or buy a business and realize their goals (this is very rewarding). With our background we can negotiate better, sell faster, and position the most beneficial outcome for our clients. We are a unique team in the business broker industry and our clients receive many benefits that they will not experience with other firms.
Michele Pouliot is a highly accomplished and successful executive with extensive experience leading Business Development and Sales divisions. During her steady rise to senior levels in the corporate world, her exceptional leadership and strategic development skills were key in her ability to outperform her peers, re-shape sales organizations and consistently drive double-digit growth.
Michele led high-achievement teams in the public, private, commercial, enterprise sectors in both B2B and B2C/retail, earning a multitude of awards in team productivity. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management, as well as Leadership Development Certificates from both Duke University and American University.
Michele’s background was key to establishing a successful business brokerage in Maryland, helping sellers realize their retirement goals and buyer’s achieve business ownership. Selling or buying a business is lengthy and requires significant knowledge in a host of professional disciplines such as marketing, sales, finance, operations, project management and contracts. Together, Bob and Michele cover the entire spectrum and manage the process for business owners.
A strong advocate for giving back to the community, Michele led her community association in Maryland for nearly a decade. Bob and Michele decided to move to the Emerald Coast to work with veteran-friendly businesses. They are happy to be back where Bob spent the best five years of his military career.

He held positions in many industries, including logistics, airlines, education, and defense. Bob also led business and civic associations, giving back to the communities he proudly served.
Bob is a visionary with a track record for implementing strategic change in some of the most demanding environments.

Bob’s background was critical in building a successful business brokerage in Maryland, helping Main Street business owners across a wide spectrum of industries achieve their goals. Bob believes managing the process of selling a business is like managing a complex project – guiding all stakeholders from start to finish, and often-times beyond. The Business Broker has to “own” the process to achieve success.
Bob and Michele moved to the Emerald Coast – where Bob’s 5-year tour kicked off his military career and provided some of the best experiences life can offer. Together, Bob and Michele endeavor to work with the veteran-friendly businesses of the Emerald Coast and help owners and buyers alike realize their dreams!
