Griswold-Home-Care-logo

Michael-SlupeckiMichael Slupecki joined Griswold Home Care in 2020 as its Chief Executive Officer and is responsible for leading the development, operations, and execution of Griswold’s short and long-term strategies. His career in home care began in 2004 when he joined a domestic franchise home healthcare, home hospice, and healthcare staffing company as their Controller.

Over his tenure, he was elevated to Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, transforming the organization into a multinational franchisor of in-home medical and non-medical care managing three brands across seven countries with a combined network of over 500 franchise locations.

Prior to joining the home care industry, Michael’s career began with the global financial advisory firm, KPMG, where he earned his Certified Public Accountant designation. He later spent nine years in the recruiting and staffing industry, starting with a regional boutique recruiting company that subsequently merged with a $2 billion public company that provided a full range of staffing and recruiting services across the US.

His formal education includes a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Science in Accounting from the University of Toledo and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Bowling Green State University. When Michael isn’t at the corporate office in Pennsylvania, he can be found enjoying time with his wife and three children in South Florida where he resides. He spends time boating, fishing, and golfing, and has completed over 80 running and multisport events.

A proven leader with over 15 years of experience in healthcare services and healthcare franchising companies, Michael’s skillset and vision is instrumental to the future growth of Griswold Home Care. Michael firmly believes that as leaders, there is little we can accomplish individually; long term success is determined by assembling a team of competent and motivated professionals who value team success above individual recognition.

dog-training-elite

Betsy-FeasterBetsy Feaster served in the Air Force for over a decade before climbing the corporate ladder at ExxonMobil, exiting as a senior executive. When she left this role, she opened a Dog Training Elite business in Louisiana.

Shortly after this, the former CEO chose to sell their ownership of the franchise to the Feasters. As a member of the board, Feaster was involved in the search for new leadership, and when the team began to better understand the depth of her leadership overseas in the military, former leadership roles with ExxonMobil and general business acumen, they suggested she step into the CEO role.

Feaster shared that she is incredibly loyal to Dog Training Elite, and though she never saw herself in a CEO role due to her previous business experience, her relationship with the franchise is just different.

As she looks to her future with the brand, Feaster says she is excited to continue growing Dog Training Elite and looks forward to grooming it to become the largest dog training franchise with the smallest number of owners — a testament to the strength of the model and franchisees’ passion for the brand.

Amyn’s vision extends to offering enrichment programs that include STEM activities, thereby preparing children not just for school but for life.

Connect with Amyn on LinkedIn.

Dick-RenDick Ren brings over three decades of experience to his role as the Director of Franchise Development at Ivy Kids. His journey in the franchise industry began in his mid-20s when he, along with his father, brother, and two other partners, ventured into the franchise restaurant business. Over the course of a decade, they successfully expanded their single-unit operation into a five-unit enterprise.

Seizing an opportunity to further scale, Dick invested in an area director business with the same Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) chain. Serving as the operating partner, he and his partner grew the business from a single unit to an impressive 80 units, opening 68 new locations over a span of 12 years.

During this period, Dick’s responsibilities encompassed a wide range of functions, including franchise development, site selection, lease negotiation, design and construction management, as well as providing ongoing operational support.

After selling the company, Dick diversified his portfolio by investing in two other area director programs, this time in the fast-casual and full-service restaurant sectors. Following buyouts of both companies by their parent organizations, Dick transitioned to leading development for two growing automotive service companies for three years.

In May of 2023, Dick took on the role of Director of Franchise Development at Ivy Kids, bringing his extensive experience and leadership skills to a new industry focused on early childhood education.
