Brook Hartnett

With over 20 years of executive leadership in automotive industry verticals spanning manufacturing and services, I specialize in business strategy, operational excellence, sales & marketing, and mergers & acquisitions. Prior to relocating to the United States in 2019, I served as CEO of a publicly listed company in China, where I led complex M&A transactions, restructuring initiatives and delivered sustainable growth. I am passionate about guiding business owners through successful transitions, ensuring legacy preservation and value realization. As an active angel investor for more than a decade, I have invested in multiple startups—including several unicorns—bringing strategic insight and a global perspective to early-stage ventures.

I joined Transworld Business Advisors after successfully owning and managing my small business for over 23 years, during which I gained extensive experience in marketing, sales, human resources, customer service, and client retention. With more than two decades of experience owning my own small business and investing in real estate, I also bring a strong academic foundation, holding a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from the University of Tampa. I am a licensed realtor in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. There's a saying: "Work smarter, not harder." Why not do both? I'm committed to putting in the effort others won't, working both hard and smart. With over 23 years of business ownership, I understand the dedication, integrity, and resilience required to succeed. I bring that same focus and commitment to every business and real estate transaction I manage. In my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife, son, and our dog, Miley. I also stay active through golf and fitness, embracing a balanced and energetic lifestyle.
