Jason Kealey is Vice President of Strategy at FranConnect. He joined the company in that role in January 2021 following FranConnect’s acquisition of FranchiseBlast, a software company Kealey founded in 2007 and grew to support more than 100 franchise brands and multi-location businesses.
At FranConnect, Kealey focused on technology innovation, bringing experience in franchise operations, above-store leadership, and business-process modeling to the development of practical solutions for multi-location brands.
