Management team / founders

Scott, the founder and CEO of Koala Insulation, leads an emerging insulation franchise that serves residential and commercial customers in Melbourne, Florida. Prior to Koala Insulation, he established and sold another successful franchise, Fleet Clean USA, which became one of the largest mobile truck washing companies in the country. Through franchising, he successfully built and scaled his business. A key takeaway from his story is his emphasis on developing exceptional processes and procedures throughout the entire business.
