United Franchise Group™ (UFG), a global leader in franchise opportunities and support, has announced an executive realignment aimed at sharpening its focus on operational excellence and long-term growth as it moves into 2026. The restructuring assigns specific responsibilities to each executive, building on the company's results-driven foundation.
Under the new structure, Ray Titus continues as Chairman, CEO and Founder, overseeing vision, culture, investments and long-term strategic direction. A.J. Titus takes on the role of Executive Director of Operations at UFG and President of Signarama. Andrew Titus becomes President of UFG Growth and Fully Promoted. Brady Lee serves as Chief Operating Officer and President of Xsella Acquisitions, focusing on operational excellence and acquisitions. Michael White is Chief Development Officer at UFG International, overseeing franchise sales and international growth. Austin Titus leads Accurate Franchising, handling franchise development and broker relations.
“This is not a great departure from what we've always done – we're just taking a more focused, intentional approach,” said Ray Titus. “Several of our brands have had remarkable years of growth and development, and we want to be sure we continue that trajectory company-wide. By assigning a particular focus to each executive, we keep growth and operational excellence top of mind as we strive to reach our goals as a company and as individuals.”
The realignment underscores UFG's commitment to supporting its 1,800 franchisees across more than 80 countries. The company's portfolio includes brands such as Signarama, Fully Promoted, Black Optix Tint, Transworld Business Advisors, Exit Factor, Accurate Franchising, Franchise Real Estate, and the Vast Coworking Group (Venture X, Office Evolution, Intelligent Office), as well as food concepts under Big Flavor Brands like The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill and Graze Craze.
