Industry veterans Victoria Coia and Kevin Murray named to growth roles at the auto styling franchise.
Tint World reported that it has strengthened its leadership team with the addition of two executives.
The auto styling and window tinting center franchise announced that it has added Victoria Coia as director of business development and Kevin Murray as vice president of real estate and construction.
According to Tint World, the new hires “reflect the brand’s continued focus on building the infrastructure, development strategy and franchisee support needed to advance domestic and international expansion.”
Coia has over 20 years of franchise development experience with service and food franchise concepts, including Massage Heights and Rita’s Franchise Company.
In her new role, Coia will focus on strengthening Tint World’s development pipeline, attracting high-quality operators and multi-unit investors, and connecting with independent automotive shop owners seeking growth.
Last year, Tint World signed 39 new franchise agreements and reached system-wide store revenue of more than $100 million.
“Tint World has built a strong position in the automotive aftermarket space with a model that blends functionality, lifestyle appeal and long-term growth potential,” said Coia. “I’m excited to join the team and help support the brand’s continued expansion by connecting with high-quality operators and investors who align with Tint World’s vision.”
Murray brings more than 25 years of real estate and construction experience across the QSR, entertainment, retail and fitness industries. He has supported growth for brands including Church’s Chicken, Benihana, and Dunkin’ Brands.
As the new vice president of real estate and construction, Murray is charged with strengthening Tint World’s site selection, lease support, development pipeline tracking and construction processes to support efficient openings and long-term franchisee success.
“Real estate and construction play a major role in franchisee success, and my priority is to help Tint World franchisees make smart site decisions and move through the development process as efficiently as possible,” said Murray. “I’m excited to join a brand with strong growth potential and support its continued expansion across the U.S. and internationally.”
Tint World has more than 150 locations open and another 200-plus in development. The franchise says its goal is to have more than 600 locations. The company also has locations in Canada, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates.
“Tint World has built tremendous momentum, and our next phase of growth requires leaders who can help us scale with greater discipline, consistency and support for our franchisees,” said Charles Bonfiglio, founder and CEO of Tint World. “Victoria and Kevin strengthen the leadership foundation behind our expansion and reflect our continued investment in the people and systems that will drive long-term success.”
This marks the second pair of executives brought on board by Tint World. During its first quarter, Tint World named Eric Taylor as its new chief development officer while Craig Martin was appointed as vice president of finance.
The auto brand was founded in 1982 and is based in Boca Raton, Florida.
