Building Infrastructure for Independence - Part 1

Louis “Dusty” Profumo spent 18 years as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Church’s Texas Chicken, overseeing finance, investor relations, risk, IT, and supply-chain board work across a large QSR system. Before Church’s, he was CFO of Avado Brands and of Randstad North America, and earlier spent 23 years at KPMG (11 as an audit partner in Atlanta). He holds undergraduate and MBA degrees from Cornell. Today he serves on multi-unit franchise boards and advisory roles, including American Franchise Capital. In this episode of Multi-Unit Master, Dusty talks with host Jason Pace about building the infrastructure multi-unit operators need for independence — the finance, systems, and operating discipline behind a brand that can scale without the founder living in every location. Presented by ContinuServe. Full disclosure: Jason Pace has been an advisor and customer of ContinuServe, never an employee. Learn more at continuserve.com.
