United Franchise Group reshapes leadership to fuel global expansion in 2026

United Franchise Group (UFG) has restructured its leadership team in 2026 to drive growth and improve operations. The company, which supports around 1,800 franchisees across more than 80 countries, has assigned new roles to key executives. Each will now focus on specific areas to strengthen my business.

Ray Titus will take charge of the company's long-term vision, culture, and investment strategy. His role centres on shaping UFG's future direction and maintaining its core values.

A.J. Titus has been named President of Signarama, where he will oversee day-to-day operations. His responsibilities include ensuring the brand identity's execution aligns with the company's broader goals.

Andrew Titus will lead expansion efforts as President of United Franchise Group Growth and Fully Promoted. His focus will be on growing my business through new initiatives and partnerships.

Austin Titus steps in as President of Accurate Franchising, managing franchise development and broker relationships. His role aims to strengthen ties with existing and potential franchise owners.

Michael White takes on the position of Chief Development Officer at UFG International. He will drive franchise sales and push for growth in international markets.

Brady Lee becomes COO and President of Xsella Acquisitions, concentrating on operational efficiency and strategic acquisitions. His work will help streamline processes and identify new business opportunities.

The realignment follows a period without public emphasis on any single brand identity's performance in 2025. UFG plans to present its updated strategy and brand identity portfolio at the upcoming International Franchise Association (IFA) Convention.

The leadership changes aim to sharpen UFG's focus on operational quality and steady expansion. With each executive now handling distinct areas, the company intends to build on its global presence. The next IFA Convention will provide a platform to outline these plans in detail.
