As a former Avis Budget Group executive, Brad led the Raleigh-Durham International Airport location, as well as district manager for the state of North Carolina. He honed his expertise in process improvement, which he will leverage to help local airports elevate NuVinAir’s customer experience, while streamlining the company’s offerings. 

Scott will implement NuVinAir’s products and programs across the region. His team will support opportunities in the transportation space, including car rental companies, automotive dealerships, car washes, detail shops, RVs, trucking fleets, mobility companies, and other automotive businesses.

“Our Franchisees are a dynamic powerhouse of talent, and Brad’s experience in the rental-car sector is going to be an incredible addition to our NuVinAir family,” added Kyle Bailey, NuVinAir Global’s CEO and founder. “Last year, our organization doubled in size and generated over 400% year-on-year growth. The secret to our success is the team we are building through our franchise network.”
