QC Kinetix Franchise Names New CEO and Expands Leadership Team

May 16, 2022 // Franchising.com // CHARLOTTE, N.C. - QC Kinetix today announced the addition of three new executives and the promotion of Scott Hoots to Chief Executive Officer.

Hoots, a 40-year franchise industry veteran, was brought on board as Chief Operating Officer in 2020 to help build the QC Kinetix franchise from scratch. Started as a private regenerative medicine clinic in 2017 and led by founders Justin Crowell, Tyler Vail, and Dr. Richard Schaffer, the chain of concierge-style medical clinics uses orthobiologics to help the body repair or heal damaged tissues and joints without the need for surgery or addictive pain pills.

“For me, this is the ultimate opportunity to capitalize on my depth of experience in the franchise sector. It is the perfect fit for what I want out of my career,” said Hoots. 
 
Founder and former CEO Crowell says the transfer of leadership to Hoots was always part of the plan, although leadership changes came quicker than expected.

“We (the founders) knew Scott was going to be the right man to lead the franchise when the time came, and the time is now,” said Crowell, who is continuing with QC Kinetix as a board member. “He is taking our vision and building a family of QC Kinetix franchisees that are making life-changing treatments available to people all over the country. We are thrilled he is taking over as CEO; we know the company is in good hands and has a bright future.”

All three founders are stepping away from the day-to-day running of the franchise but continuing to serve on the board of directors as well as focusing on other related business ventures. Dr. Schaffer retains the important role of leading the medical advisory committee, which will focus on training, research, and development of new treatments.
