SAN DIEGO, CA-(NewMediaWire - Jul 14, 2017) - Generation NEXT
Franchise Brands (OTCQB: VEND) announced today that it has
hired both Anthony Mauriello as General Counsel and Tabitha Burke
as Vice President of Franchise Development. The two key executive
positions bolster the San Diego company's growing corporate team
and will add additional strength and experience to future
initiatives.
Mauriello had a corporate transactional law practice with a
focus on public company representation, mergers and acquisitions,
corporate governance and venture capital finance at international
law firms, including Skadden Arps, Latham & Watkins, and Wilson
Sonsini for 14 years prior to joining the company as its first
full-time General Counsel. Licensed to practice law in
California and New York, Mauriello graduated from the Duke
University School of Law in 2003. He is also an adjunct professor
at the University of San Diego School of Law.
"I am thrilled to join Generation NEXT as the company's first
full-time General Counsel. This is a dynamic enterprise with a
truly customer-focused and values-based culture. I am very much
looking forward to assisting the organization's brands as the
company expands its global footprint with some incredible
technology."
In addition to the hiring of Mauriello, Generation NEXT added a
seasoned franchise relations expert with the hiring of Tabitha
Burke as Vice President of Franchise Development. Burke, whose
background includes senior roles at both Flippin' Pizza
International and HDOS Enterprises, will be key in the development,
implementation and direction of franchise relations for Generation
NEXT's continued growth. A graduate of Phoenix University in San
Diego, Burke is looking forward to bringing added strength to the
growing franchise team.
"Generation NEXT has made great strides in the last year, and
with that kind of growth comes the need for improved processes,
technology and platforms to help maintain the best possible
relationship with its franchisees," said Burke.
