Breault Research ups 2018 goals under new regime
Summary
The Tucson technology executive who purchased the optical engineering company Breault Research Organization (BRO) earlier this year says he hopes to step up its revenues by as much 30 per cent in 2018.Matthew Pobloske, who has a background in drones and other defense-oriented technology ventures, completed stock acquisition for a controlling interest in the company in late April, but says he’s worked with BRO’s founder Bob Breault, now 77, for two decades.Breault still goes to work daily at BRO, liaising with its many clients across the US, Europe and Asia, including government labs, military outfits and Fortune 500 companies.Pobloske, now with the twin titles of president and CEO, was previously director of business development for Advanced Ceramics Research, which worked on semi-autonomous drone aircraft for the US Navy.Pobloske said he would be able to bring his own technology background to that effort, drawing on successes with high-tech ceramic composites and related materials - something he described as “an ideal fit” with BRO - along with his more recent work with sensors and unmanned aerial vehicles.
