Etienne Tremblay is a seasoned software leader and entrepreneur with 13+ years building end-to-end franchise-focused platforms, from interactive kiosks and POS systems to e-commerce sites and integrated management portals. As CTO and co-owner at PowerInsight and former VP of Engineering at FranConnect, he blends hands-on software architecture with product-minded engineering management to simplify multi-site operations and data flows. He co-founded LavaBlast, demonstrating sustained startup grit and deep domain expertise in franchising, web design, and hosted SaaS operations. Based in Montreal with a software engineering degree from the University of Ottawa, he pairs practical deployment experience—hosting, backups, and in-store rollouts—with a belief that collaboration tools (wiki, forum, blog) unlock franchise growth. Notably, his work emphasizes tying customer-facing interfaces to centralized admin tooling, making complex distributed systems feel operationally simple for franchisors.
