Chief Operating Officer

Becoming Chief Operating Officer with Tint World Franchise has been one of my greatest accomplishments and by far my greatest honor. I began my career at Tint World as the first Operations Manager when the Franchise had less than 15 location. As we grew the company, I was promoted to VP of Operations where I built an Operations Department of 7 Operations Managers, trained all of them, built a complete operational system for the Franchise, designed and developed new systems for Franchisee's. During this time I perfected P&l Management and became an expert in Development including all aspects of the Commercial Real Estate Division, Site Selection, Lease / Purchase Negotiations and Construction / Build-Outs. In 2018 I was promoted to COO where I maintained all company departments, worked closely with the CEO on new and existing initiatives and worked tirelessly on company growth. During my time we grew the company from a small handful of locations to a large Franchise with 150+ locations opened and operating as well as an additional 170 under development.
