Great People Make Great Companies

iFranchise Group MENAT Difference — Our Consultants

Founded on the principle that great people make great companies, the iFranchise Group MENAT brings decades of diverse franchise consulting experience to every engagement. Every aspect of every engagement is personally headed by a professional with at least a decade of relevant experience — not farmed out to a rookie who will be learning at your expense (and perhaps at your peril). Virtually all of our senior franchise consultants have either worked for significant franchise companies and/or sold franchises — real-world experience — so they know what it’s like in the trenches.

The following biographies reflect the experience of our Senior Franchise Consultants and our alliance partners — each of whom brings at least a decade or more of relevant experience to your project. Information on staff consultants is available upon request.
