Experienced franchise entrepreneur and corporate management executive to serve on governing body of revolutionary eCommerce cooperative

MINNEAPOLIS, USA - May 12, 2019 /MarketersMedia/ —

Evan Hackel, Co-Founder of the Empowery eCommerce Cooperative, will also be serving on the organization’s Board of Directors, the company announced. Hackel is an accomplished franchise entrepreneur and corporate management executive. As a board member, Hackel is expected to provide leadership and direction for the growing cooperative, which delivers a unique partnership amongst eCommerce business owners.

“Evan comes to this position with a truly impressive level of experience,” said Steve Simonson, Founder of Empowery. “We need his guidance to make Empowery a force in the eCommerce sector.”

Hackel is the creator of the Ingaged Leadership concept and brand. Viewed as a thought leader in the fields of leadership and success, Hackel has published the book Ingaging Leadership and authored more than 100 articles for various magazines around leadership concepts. He is founder and principal of Ingage Consulting, which focuses on improving the performance of franchises by improving the relationship between franchisees and the franchisor.

By creating a culture of partnership and common purpose, Ingage helps franchises dramatically improve their performance. Hackel has helped hundreds of franchise organizations make major systemwide changes and build franchisee "ingagement," teamwork, and focused growth, resulting in increased profitability and achieved success.

Before founding Ingage Consulting, Evan worked at CCA Global Partners for twenty years. At CCA, he was responsible for four business divisions with over 2,000 units and over $5 billion in sales, operating in five countries. He also founded CCA’s departments in marketing, national programs, and training. He led the company's effort to buy and turn around a troubled franchise organization from bankruptcy. In four years, he was able to grow the troubled franchise from $700 million in systemwide sales to a very successful company with over $2 billion in sales.

In total, Evan has helped launch and found three franchise businesses during his career. Two of those were at CCA—which are still successfully operating now—and one, which he founded prior to CCA, developed and sold. Evan is a Certified Franchise Executive, a member of the IFA’s franchise relationship committee and a board member of the New England Franchise Association.

As a cooperative, Empowery works from a platform that enables members to harness the purchasing power of the many. Internet Sellers can leverage Empowery to cut costs and increase efficiency. At the same time, they can remain independent. Members gain access to a network of successful business owners. As a group, members share their knowledge and experience. A member-owned, non-profit organization, Empowery is able to deliver the majority of its profits back to its members. The Empowery board consists of Simonson, Erin Taylor, Marcos Ortega, Melissa Simonson, Dennis Simonson, Ed Morgan and Evan Hackel.
