Tom Hodgson

I am a visionary leader and brand builder with a proven track record of conceptualizing, launching, and scaling businesses from the ground up. With deep expertise in sales strategy, franchise development, and operational growth, I have successfully built and expanded brands, guiding them through acquisitions and private equity transactions. A dynamic team builder, I excel at fostering collaboration, empowering franchisees, and driving businesses toward sustained profitability. Having spoken at industry-leading events such as Springboard and the International Franchise Association (IFA), I am recognized as a thought leader in franchising, business optimization, and market expansion. My experience spans the full business lifecycle—from hands-on operations in the service industry to high-level strategic planning, licensing, and corporate partnerships. With extensive experience working with franchisees, I understand the challenges of business growth and have the ability to identify inefficiencies, implement solutions, and optimize performance. Having "been around the block," I bring a wealth of knowledge in scaling businesses, navigating due diligence, and ensuring successful brand evolution. Passionate about helping franchisees and organizations expand, I am adept at turning vision into reality and driving meaningful business success.
