Michelle Janson was raised in the Midwest and began her career in the oil and gas industry, where she specialized in risk mitigation, sales and account management, and market analysis, helping companies make sound decisions and keep strong market positions in a volatile sector. When life called her to stay rooted in Ohio to raise her daughter, Michelle pivoted and found business brokering. A great connection with JT Harp introduced her to Transworld Business Advisors. She immediately aligned with JT’s mission to strengthen communities by helping entrepreneurs exit well and buyers build their futures. As his first official team member, Michelle helped lay the foundation, and together they have earned recognition as one of the highest-performing teams in Transworld’s global network. Today, Michelle is a purpose-driven business broker who brings strategic insight, deep integrity, and a personal commitment to every client. She approaches her work with both business acumen and heart. She believes that behind every transaction is a dream—whether it’s a seller looking to protect their legacy or a buyer stepping into business ownership for the first time. For Michelle, this is more than deal-making—it’s life-changing.
