“Every day we strive to put our global franchisees in a position to succeed in a dynamic, fast-paced industry,” said Anthony Geisler, CEO of Xponential Fitness.

“Our board is constantly evolving to ensure that we have the right skillsets to guide and oversee our growth. Given how important technology is to Xponential and its franchisees, I know I speak for all the other board members in saying that we can’t wait to begin working with Jair.”

Clarke has extensive experience with Fortune 100 companies, and was involved in product management, digital transformation, digital marketing, cybersecurity, data science, emerging technology and experiences and worldwide innovation. Currently the global chief technology officer of commercial systems at Microsoft Corporation, he oversees the commercial systems, business intelligence and processes across all industries for Microsoft Customers and Partner Solutions’ $100bn business.
