At Sunbelt Atlanta our team is made up of seasoned professionals with more than 90 years of collective experience selling companies. Our backgrounds and industry experience are as varied as the companies we represent. Some come from main-street, some from Wall Street. Collectively, we have closed hundreds of transactions and the companies we have sold range in size from $100,000 to $50,000,000 in revenue and span all industries.
Before joining Sunbelt Atlanta Business Brokers , Raquel founded and led a boutique staffing firm, growing it into a seven-figure enterprise. Steering her company through its acquisition gave her a firsthand understanding of what it takes, emotionally and strategically, to scale and sell a business.
Raquel brings a dynamic and accomplished background to Sunbelt Atlanta with a career that spans a variety of industries including staffing, mental and behavioral health, nonprofits, and education, where she’s held leadership roles that have deepened her understanding of how to build strong systems and authentic relationships. She holds both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree from Michigan State University.
When she’s not working, you’ll find Raquel taking long walks around the City of Decatur, where she resides, or traveling—preferably to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, where she loves hiking with her husband and two children.
We can help. Send me your contact details for a confidential conversation. I look forward to speaking with you.
