United Franchise Group™ (UFG), a global leader in franchise opportunities and support, has announced an executive realignment aimed at sharpening the company's focus on operational excellence and long-term growth. The restructuring, effective at the start of 2026, assigns specific responsibilities to key executives to leverage their expertise and drive the company forward.
Under the new structure, Ray Titus will continue as Chairman, CEO, and Founder, overseeing vision, culture, investments, and strategic direction. A.J. Titus steps into the role of Executive Director of Operations for UFG and President of Signarama, while 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 takes on the role of Chief Development Officer at UFG International, handling franchise sales and international growth. Austin Titus is President of Accurate Franchising, overseeing franchise development and broker relations.
Ray Titus emphasized that the realignment is a natural evolution rather than a dramatic shift. "This is not a great departure from what we've always done – we're just taking a more focused, intentional approach," he said. "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 iconic brands such as Signarama, Fully Promoted, Black Optix Tint, Transworld Business Advisors, and others, as well as food concepts under Big Flavor Brands. With 40 years of franchising experience, UFG has helped develop over 350 franchise brands.
United Franchise Group will attend the upcoming International Franchise Association (IFA) Convention, where attendees can visit Booth #1104 to learn more about its affiliated brands. For additional information, visit www.UnitedFranchiseGroup.com.
