## Story

Mathnasium has appointed Kevin Shen as Chief Development Officer.

Kevin joins Mathnasium with 13 years of investment banking and franchising experience. For the last eight years, he has been an executive at Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc., mostly recently serving as the Vice President, Head of Real Estate Development and Franchise Sales.

“Being immersed in the franchising and investment banking world, I had always admired private equity backed brands and have a ton of respect for Michael Davis and his extensive experience as a CEO working with top-notch companies. As I met more of the leadership team and franchisees, it became clear why this is the perfect time to join Mathnasium with its endless industry tailwinds,” said Shen. “It is also so easy to get behind the mission of changing lives through math.”

“It was important to find a leader like Kevin who aligns with Mathnasium’s values and believes in our larger mission to make math enjoyable by teaching true comprehension,” said Michael Davis, CEO of Mathnasium. “Every new center ensures Mathnasium’s mission will get to more student’s, families, and communities.”

“Our Center Directors, math instructors and small business owners around the world are using the Mathnasium Method to make a difference in their local communities,” said Shen.
