ORLANDO, FL — EverSmith Brands today announced the appointment of Michael Abramson to Chief Operating Officer, effective immediately. EverSmith Brands operates seven companies comprising more than 800 territories and more than 350 franchise owners.

In his new role, Abramson will oversee operations across EverSmith Brands' portfolio of commercial service brands, with a focus on improving franchisee support and operations.

"Michael is one of the most accomplished operators in franchising, with a proven ability to scale brands, strengthen systems, and create value for franchise owners," said Justin Ghadery, chief executive officer of EverSmith Brands. "His experience leading large, multi-brand franchise organizations and his deep understanding of operational excellence make him an ideal addition to our leadership team. As we continue investing in our brands and franchisees, Michael's leadership will be instrumental in helping us execute our long-term growth strategy."

Abramson brings more than 20 years of franchise leadership experience spanning operations, revenue growth, legal affairs, and executive management. He previously served as chief operating officer and chief revenue officer of Xponential Fitness (NYSE: XPOF), where he helped lead the company's significant expansion, supported its transition to the public markets, and oversaw operations across nine brands serving thousands of franchise owners.

Prior to Xponential Fitness, Abramson served as president of D1 Training, where he helped scale the franchise system during a period of rapid growth that culminated in the company's acquisition by Princeton Equity Group.
