  • Develop strategies to increase institutional ownership within the franchise network; analyze industry trends in franchise consolidation and private capital investment.
  • Manage the franchisor-approval dimension of operator deals; preserve founder/brand DNA and franchisee trust; recommend policies and programs that encourage responsible franchisee growth.
  • Prepare board-level materials summarizing financial impact, strategic fit, integration approach, and capital initiatives and franchisee expansion activities.

Qualifications:

  • MBA Preferred; Bachelor's Degree required in finance, business, or related field.
  • 10+ years of progressive experience across franchise growth & development
  • Experience inclusive of investment banking, private equity, corporate development, or M&A preferred
