Teza brings a wealth of development expertise from his leadership roles in franchising, including his current position as President and Chief Development Officer of Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa and its more than 500 franchised locations specializing in high-quality massage and facial services.
“I’ve attended many of Franchise Update’s conferences over the years and am continually impressed by the quality of the speakers, the content, the panelists, and the opportunities to meet in a comfortable, informal setting,” said Teza. “The CEO Summit, where I can spend a full day with my peers and make lasting connections is a unique and rewarding experience I always look forward to.”
“We’re thrilled John has agreed to be Conference Chair this year, representing our amazing Advisory Board of franchisor executives,” said Therese Thilgen, CEO and Co-Founder of Franchise Update Media. “We couldn’t be more excited about the agenda that John, the Advisory Board, and our team are creating for this event.”
For 21 years, the FLDC has offered a forum for franchisor C-suite and development executives to discuss critical growth strategies to drive their brands forward. The conference provides content, conversations, and networking opportunities franchise development executives can’t find anywhere else.
“I’m especially looking forward to the FLDC this year,” said Thilgen. “The opportunity to bring our franchising family back together in person after so long is truly exciting, especially in this critical time when driving growth, building our networks, and gathering new ideas are top of mind for us all.”
