Big changes are afoot at Radiance Holdings. The beauty and wellness platform company recently announced the appointment of Ben Jones as Chief Executive Officer. In his new role, Jones will oversee the world’s largest salon suites franchise, Sola Salons, and the industry-leading premium day spa brand in the U.S., Woodhouse Spas.
“After dedicating more than a decade to nurturing the growth of Sola Salons, Woodhouse Spas, and Radiance Holdings, I am deeply honored and feel incredibly fortunate to assume the role of CEO,” said Jones, about the recent appointment. “I am excited to partner with TSG Consumer Partners, along with Scott and Ariel, to further our commitment to helping our franchisees and employees reach their full potential.”
Having been a former Sola franchisee who owned and operated three thriving locations in the Denver market, Jones knows the Sola and Radiance businesses intimately. Not to mention, he recently served as Radiance Holdings’ Chief Development Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors. With his expanded role as CEO, Jones will be able to continue to leverage his extensive senior leadership background in franchising, as well as his deep experience as a franchisee to build strategy and drive execution for each of Radiance’s brands. Under his leadership, Radiance Holdings will maintain its intense focus on driving success for its franchisees across both Sola and Woodhouse. Radiance will also remain an active acquirer within the $5.6 trillion beauty and wellness industry.
“Ben’s experience as both a franchisee and franchisor at Radiance make him uniquely qualified to lead our system and teams across Sola and Woodhouse. His thoughtful and strategic approach is supported by his track record of executing on behalf of our incredible group of franchisees across both brands,” said Pierre LeComte at TSG Consumer Partners. “We’re excited to continue our partnership with Ben to take Radiance to new heights.”
