Chris Mangum
National Director of Programs
Franchising has been the foundation of my entire career. I started as a kid working for a franchisee where I was introduced to the daily struggles of small business owners. When I went on to work for a large corporate franchisor, I learned a ton about consistency and brand protection. I saw a lot of programs out there that didn’t quite fit the needs for most franchisees, especially when it came to insurance. That’s been my driving force with Gallagher Franchise Solutions, where I consider myself a franchise-ist. I take a lot of pride in what we’ve created for the franchising industry because I know we’re providing real value. Our clients can sleep better at night knowing they can rely on us to find them the right coverage at the best price. When I’m not busy being a franchise-ist, I love spending time with my family and watching any one of my three sons playing baseball.
