United Franchise Group™ (UFG), a global leader in franchise opportunities and support, has announced an executive realignment for 2026 designed to enhance operational excellence and long-term growth. The restructuring assigns specific focus areas to key leaders, building on the company's results-driven foundation.
Under the new structure, Ray Titus, Chairman, CEO and Founder, will concentrate on vision, culture, investments and strategic direction. A.J. Titus becomes Executive Director of Operations for UFG and President of Signarama. Andrew Titus is named President of UFG Growth and Fully Promoted. Brady Lee, Chief Operating Officer, also serves as President of Xsella Acquisitions, focusing on operational excellence and acquisitions. Michael White, Chief Development Officer at UFG International, directs franchise sales and international growth. Austin Titus leads Accurate Franchising, overseeing franchise development and broker relations.
Ray Titus emphasized that the realignment is a natural evolution: “This is not a great departure from what we've always done – we're just taking a more focused, intentional approach. 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 move underscores UFG's commitment to supporting its 1,800 franchisees across more than 80 countries. The company plans to attend the upcoming International Franchise Association (IFA) Convention, inviting attendees to visit Booth #1104 to learn about its family of brands.
UFG's portfolio includes iconic brands like Signarama, Fully Promoted, Black Optix Tint, Transworld Business Advisors, Exit Factor, Accurate Franchising Inc., Franchise Real Estate, and the Vast Coworking Group (Venture X, Office Evolution, Intelligent Office), plus food concepts under Big Flavor Brands such as The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill and Graze Craze. With 40 years of franchising experience, UFG has helped develop over 350 franchise brands.
