“Women continue to increase their impact on the franchise industry,” said Alesia Visconti, Publisher & CEO, Franchise Dictionary Magazine. “Nominated by our readers, our ‘50 Women of Wonder’ are creating a path for business ownership for others and many are bringing goods and services to meet their community’s needs.

“It’s an honor to be included alongside so many amazing women that are blazing trails in today’s franchise industry,” said Olea. “I’m proud that through my company, we help seniors and their families find the right care option and peace of mind.”
