Our People

The team that coaches the team

Empire Acquisitions is led by people who still train on the floor. Our director and corporate trainers are the reason a new representative is never left to figure it out alone.

Leadership

Meet the mentors

Every person on this page is responsible for developing the people below them. That is the job description, not a bonus responsibility.

From the Director

Why Empire exists

Thierry Hart, Director

“I've spent my career developing sales organizations and coaching individuals into leadership positions. My passion has always been helping people unlock their potential.”

Empire Acquisitions was created to provide an environment where ambitious individuals can grow professionally, earn based on performance, and eventually lead teams of their own.

While sales is what we do, leadership development is who we are. That is why our organization is measured as much by the number of people we promote as by the results we produce for our clients.

What that means for you

You will be trained by people who are still in the field. You will be given responsibility before you feel ready for it. And you will be promoted when you have earned it — not when a calendar says it is your turn.

Career Path

Where you can go from here

We promote from within. These are the seats on our organization chart, and every one of them is filled by someone who was coached into it.
