June 2025 Employee Spotlight - Roland Paulette

 

Meet Roland Paulette!

Roland, has been with the Bangor office since November 2016 and helps keep things chugging along.  With a calm'ish demeanor that somehow tames the wildest workplace storms, a chocolate stash that rivals Willy Wonka’s, and a sense of humor that keeps morale sky-high.  Thanks, Roland—your dedication, creativity, and infectious positivity keep this office rolling like a well-oiled machine (or at least a chocolate-fueled one). We appreciate you more than words—and probably more than chocolate, which is saying a lot!

 

 

What his colleagues are saying!

“Roland is a great asset to the Bangor office. He’s a good listener and always has the best feedback to help us solve our problems. His calm approach to everything is appreciated. He is a great supervisor, and we are lucky to have him on our team and it does not hurt that he always keeps the candy stocked in his book to keep us all happy! ”

“Candy Man!!! Not the horror dude; but the one who would run a chill candy store filled with fauna.  I am very thankful for Roland's cool and calm approach to management.  His steady demeanor is a definite asset to help balance out the day-to-day chaos that we encounter.  Back in the Hampden days, his use of the phrase. "Let's wait to see what happens after the other shoe falls" stuck with me and it summarizes his leadership style.  Well versed in a variety of topics, ranging from sports to history, and his intelligence and a keen sense of humor are the icing on the cake. ”

“Roland is very cool tempered, authentic, creative, and a fountain of knowledge. We are extremely lucky to have him on the team! ”

 “I love that Roland makes sure his candy book is always well stocked with good candy.”

“Roland's zen type attitude keeps the Bangor office calm'ish!  If the building were on fire, Roland would sip his coffee, check the escape plan and calmy direct everyone outside all while delivering a well timed joke.  Your steady presence (and never ending supply of chocolate)  is a gift to this panic driven person.”

“Roland has been a key person and leader in the implementation of the Innovation Grant helping people get to work by accessing Uber, a very successful endeavor.  His presentation skills in this realm made him and the project credible.  Roland is a steady hand with handling crises of any kind.  His problem-solving skills, calm demeanor, and words of wisdom help people through challenging situations and times.”

“Roland's soft, kind demeanor  is quite nice to be around....He has so many talents that he keeps up his sleeve until we need them...He is the best kept secret on our team.”
