Dallas-based NuVinAir has announced expanded roles for its leadership team on August 31. Troy Blackwell is COO and executive vice president. Marty Schoenthaler is chief franchise officer and executive vice president. Marty Fritz is chief administrative officer and SVP.
With expanded responsibilities, NuVinAir’s leadership team will help ensure the success of the company’s franchisees, as well as the products they sell, nationwide.
“We’re incredibly fortunate to have such talented and passionate leaders at our company’s helm, and it’s an honor to celebrate our executive team for this very reason,” said NuVinAir CEO and Founding Partner Kyle Bailey. “Far from just an owned-and-operated company, we take tremendous pride in this trio of key decisionmakers in determining the direction and growth of our organization and the success of positioning NuVinAir for continued expansion.”
Recently, NuVinAir announced the company’s expansion of its franchise program to 33 states. And earlier this month, NuVinAir announced the expansion of its product portfolio targeting the rental-car industry with “ReTurn.”
