Who controls software purchasing President and CEO Matt Smith, CMO Eric Thompson, Vice President of Franchise Success Isaiah Gonzales, Vice President of Franchise Development Brad Taylor and Director of Design Jennifer Smith run the corporate team. Item 8 reserves any future proprietary equipment or software for the franchisor or its affiliates, so new technology on the sales floor runs through HQ.
