KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — Goddard Systems, LLC (GSL), the organization behind The Goddard School franchise system, has announced Tim Linderman as its new senior vice president and chief growth officer. Effective immediately, Linderman will spearhead strategies to drive franchise expansion, helping to increase access to high-quality early childhood education across the United States.
Linderman brings more than 30 years of business development and sales experience to the role, including over two decades in franchising. He joins GSL following a successful tenure at Jack in the Box and Del Taco, where he doubled the annual number of new franchise openings and broke franchise award records. His career also includes franchise development leadership at Primrose Schools, Huddle House, and Global Franchise Group, among others.
“I am pleased to welcome Tim to Goddard,” said Darin Harris, CEO of GSL. “His extensive experience in franchise development and passion for building strong partnerships will be instrumental as we accelerate our growth strategy and expand our presence in key markets. Tim brings both vision and development expertise, and we are confident he will make an immediate impact by identifying great Goddard School franchisees, expanding our ability to bring safe, high-quality early childhood education to more and more families.”
Linderman expressed his enthusiasm for the new role and its focus on fostering meaningful impact. “I have worked in the early childhood education space before, and I have always believed in making a meaningful impact in the lives of children and families. At the same time, there’s nothing more rewarding than helping passionate individuals turn their dreams into reality by opening a school of their own,” Linderman said. “I look forward to supporting Goddard School franchisees every step of the way as they build successful businesses rooted in purpose and impact.”
Through this appointment, Goddard Systems aims to strengthen its franchise development efforts, expanding its mission of offering high-quality education while creating opportunities for entrepreneurial success.
