Women Hold Top Roles at Franchise That Handles Cost-Efficient Staffing
Satellite Teams offers a modern franchise opportunity that helps U.S. businesses grow with full-time global talent, often at a fraction of domestic hiring costs, and without the hassle of managing global hiring on their own. Designed for business-minded, relationship-driven owners, the model enables franchisees to build a scalable, enterprise-level business by offering a solution designed to solve the talent challenges in the U.S.
A global operating platform manages all employment infrastructure, responsible for recruiting, HR, payroll, compliance, country-specific labor laws, benefits and ongoing workforce operations. Franchise owners can build client relationships and drive growth through structured, relationship-led business development. With semi-absentee ownership possible in certain cases and an investment range of $90,000 to $115,000, the model removes geographic limitations, operating without traditional territories and allowing franchisees to expand across markets without restriction.
Here, we meet the Satellite Teams leadership team, led across key functions by women, shaping not just the company’s vision and growth but how modern businesses think about global hiring.
Geryll Pastor, Chief Operating Officer
“Satellite Teams allows us to help franchise owners truly hire the world, building borderless, compliant teams, while creating meaningful opportunities for top global talent to contribute, grow and be seen on an international stage. Women bring a natural strength in building trust, alignment and cultural intelligence — and those qualities are exactly what make globally distributed teams and the Satellite Teams franchise model resilient and scalable.”
Tammy Romage, Chief Growth Officer
“Satellite Teams isn’t just a business — it’s a new operating model. What I love most is the caliber of leaders we get to work with, owners who understand business, relationships, and scale, and how we position them to build real enterprise value by connecting those relationships to global workforce solutions. At the same time, we’re operating inside a truly global organization, working alongside talented professionals across countries and time zones, with the same standard and accountability as if we were sitting right next to each other. That level of alignment and collaboration is rare, and it’s what makes this model so powerful.
“We’re at a moment where ownership, workforce and global infrastructure are all converging, and the women stepping into this space are helping define what the next era of franchising looks like. Women in franchising aren’t just participating — we’re building platforms, creating enterprise value and defining what entrepreneurship looks like for the next generation. And we’re doing it in a way that integrates life, leadership and legacy.”
Dana Cruz, Controller
“Satellite Teams is built for scale, not just efficiency. By combining disciplined financial structure with a global talent model, it enables owners to move beyond geographic limits while maintaining rigor, sustainability and long-term enterprise value. Working across global teams has sharpened how I approach leadership and scale, with an emphasis on precision, context and trust. As a woman in franchising, I’ve seen how alignment built through strong relationships directly drives stronger performance and sustainable businesses.”
Janine Caparos, Head of Marketing
“I love how Satellite Teams brings together operators, business owners and global talent, creating a model where the right people, regardless of location, can come together to build more resilient and scalable businesses. Women in franchising bring a depth of leadership rooted in alignment, trust and long-term thinking, qualities that transform systems into businesses that truly scale.”
Sybil Gonzalez-Torres, Head of Finance
“Having the opportunity to support a great team of leaders working together to create a global network that is revolutionizing the way people around the world work together energizes me. Seeing other women working toward their dreams makes me want to be there to support them all the way until they reach their goals. A woman in franchising is never alone; franchising is a shared path to success, and we are here to help.”
May Martin, Head of Human Resources
“What I love is how we’ve moved beyond ‘outsourcing’ to something much bigger: strategic expansion. We’re helping owners build high-leverage businesses by connecting them with world-class talent, proving that great work doesn’t have to be limited by geography. As women, we have a natural edge in nurturing the ‘human’ side of HR in a relationship-led model like ours. Empathy is a superpower, but it’s one we use to strengthen, not bypass, our standards. It’s what allows us to build trust across cultures while ensuring the business remains legally sound and compliant. That balance is what turns a distributed team into a strong, unified business that lasts.”
With women in these top-tier positions at Satellite Teams, the franchise may inherently benefit. A Forbes article points out a couple of noteworthy advantages of women-led businesses:
- The Ready-Now Leaders report from the Conference Board, a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank that does global research, states that organizations with women placed in at least 30% of leadership roles are 12 times more likely to rank in the top 20% for financial performance.
- Research by Leadership Circle, a leadership development organization, found that “female leaders show up more effectively than their male counterparts across every management level and age level,” quoting from Forbes. Leadership Circle’s findings result from assessments by more than 84,000 leaders and 1.5 million raters (the boss, the boss’s boss, peers, direct reports and others).
