Congratulations to 2025 CFE Graduate, ALEJANDRO COUTTIN, CFE! “I joined the franchising industry nearly 15 years ago. Initially, I served as a Franchisor, overseeing the operations of my own food retail brand before establishing Fractta Franchising, a Franchise Broker in Colombia connecting well-known brands with potential franchisees. Participating in the CFE program has significantly enriched my understanding of franchising, encompassing areas such as operations, law, and management. This comprehensive perspective extends beyond my hands-on franchise experience. Holding the Certified Franchise Executive (CFE) designation attests to my dedication to aiding Hispanic brands in entering the US market and assisting US brands in expanding their presence in Latin America.”
