About Tim Koch
As President and COO at Franchise FastLane, I lead our daily operations and strategic growth initiatives, helping emerging franchise brands scale responsibly and successfully. With over 21 years in franchising—including leadership roles at CKE Restaurants and Gala Capital Partners—I’ve built a career on driving growth, creating value, and guiding brands through critical moments of evolution.I specialize in crafting compelling visions backed by clear, actionable strategies and disciplined execution. My experience spans operational turnarounds, change management, revenue optimization, and M&A—from brand acquisition and sale to integration and performance transformation. Whether supporting a franchise brand through rapid growth or realignment, I lead with a focus on results, collaboration, and doing the right thing.At FastLane, I’m especially proud to oversee programs like CarPool—which helps emerging franchisors build in-house development capabilities—and MasterMind, our client-centric initiative designed to help brands and their franchisees tackle today’s most pressing business challenges.I believe great leadership happens from within. I’m passionate about mentoring others, leading high-performance teams, and aligning operations with innovation to achieve scalable, sustainable results. Franchising remains one of the most powerful engines for entrepreneurship—and I’m committed to strengthening the systems, people, and strategies that drive it forward.
