Franchising Veteran Takes the Helm as CEO of the Full-Service Commercial Cleaning Franchise
Office Pride Commercial Cleaning Services has appointed Doug Phillip as the new CEO. Phillip will oversee the Palm Harbor, Fla.-based commercial cleaning franchise’s day-to-day operations. He brings 30-plus years of franchising experience to the role.
“I am most excited about the opportunity that Office Pride has to grow in the years to come and what that means to our franchise owners, employees, vendors and customers,” Phillip said. He added that he also was impressed with the support for entrepreneurs provided by Office Pride’s private equity partner, Trivest.
Office Pride founder and chief visionary officer Todd Hopkins said he believes Phillip is great for the role because of his commitment to protecting and fostering the brand’s faith-based values and foundational principles. “Doug places a high value on open, honest communication and believes in fostering a culture where every voice is heard and respected. His inspiring vision for Office Pride fills me with excitement for the great things that lie ahead,” Hopkins said.
Leadership Philosophy
Phillip’s professional background includes serving as president of Budget Blinds, vice president of international operations for International Dairy Queen Corp. and executive vice president of Home Franchise Concepts. He describes his leadership philosophy as supporting those around him and creating a culture that fosters listening, understanding and collaboration. “The ability to make a decision and not be afraid to fail is also important,” he said.
Phillip credited his entrepreneurial parents with his love of small business. As a parent, he sought to instill strong values in his own three children who have achieved success as divers in high school and college in the Big 10 and Southeastern conferences.
