While serving as a senior executive with Cendant Corporation, the world’s largest franchisor, whose brands include Ramada, Days Inn, Century 21, RCI and Avis, Mr. Moserowitz helped manage virtually all aspects of franchising, ranging from operational support, quality assurance, marketing and training, to licensing and strategic partnerships. He also played a key role in the company’s franchise sales and marketing efforts, and served as a primary witness in litigation-related matters for over a decade.

His expertise also enabled the company to expand beyond the hotel industry to the real estate, timeshare and car rental industries, growing Cendant to 20,000 total franchised units.

Mr. Moserowitz concluded his 12-year tenure with Cendant as Senior Vice President, Franchise Operations, where he developed and managed the company’s operations strategy responsible for the service delivery for franchises across Cendant’s nine hotel brands. Mr. Moserowitz achieved dramatic increases in both profitability and efficiency ratings within the operations team while continuing to drive incremental revenues and enhancing the value of the franchise relationship. His distinctive approach to franchisor/franchisee relations has been credited as one of the most significant factors that established the company’s reputation for delivering a great level of service while becoming the largest and most profitable franchise organization in the world. His innovative integration and orientation program greatly improved the operations, profitability and start-up period experienced by new franchises. Mr. Moserowitz also achieved record performance in the areas of licensing and franchise retention, again developing a new approach and combination of functions never previously attempted in hotel franchising. During his franchising career, he has also led operational due diligence and integration teams for various corporate acquisitions.

Mr. Moserowitz began his franchising career in 1986 when he joined Howard Johnson, and soon became the youngest controller of a major hotel company. He earned a BS in Accounting from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA, holds his CPA certification, and is a member of the International Franchise Association (IFA).
