Victor DeOliveira is the founder of Discover Marble and Granite in Millbury, Massachusetts. He started out with a passion for flying and became a commercial pilot but after the events of 9/11, he lost his job, but rather than sitting idly by waiting for something he created his own fortune and founded his company. Victor saw an opportunity in the market to be a B2B wholesaler for granite and focused on that market exclusively. Victor took what he learned as a pilot and applied it to the business to get through the various economic downturns and to also make the right investments for the future when sales were high.
"You can go full throttle when things are good and when you want to grow. But you can coast a little bit, you can reduce that power, you can adjust it, you can conserve fuel. You can do different things."
- Victor DeOliveira, about running a business is like flying an airplane
