Robert Cresanti named interim COO during search for replacement
Steve Caldeira, president and CEO of the International Franchise Association, said Wednesday that he is stepping down after efforts to align on a new contract failed.
“I am very proud of our accomplishments during my tenure to protect, promote and enhance the franchise business model,” Caldeira said in a statement. “It has been a real honor and privilege to represent franchising, which is the true essence of entrepreneurship in America. While I appreciate the opportunity to have worked with so many respected business leaders and the extremely talented staff at the IFA, the time has come for me to move on.”
Robert Cresanti, IFA executive vice president of government relations and public policy, has been named interim chief operating officer of the Washington, D.C.-based lobbying group. The board has formed a search committee to find a replacement for Calderia, the association said.
