Chelsie Charnet Maltez
Franchise Development Consultant | GoFranchise Holdings, Inc.
With nearly two decades of experience in the franchise industry, Chelsie Charnet Maltez is a seasoned professional who brings tremendous value to the GoFranchise team. As a Franchise Development Consultant, Chelsie combines her deep industry knowledge with a passion for helping entrepreneurs find the right path to business ownership.
Chelsie’s franchise journey began in her family’s financial planning franchise, where she gained firsthand experience in operations, sales, and franchisee support. That foundation sparked a lifelong passion for franchising and led her to work with some of the industry’s most respected organizations. After relocating from New Jersey to Orlando, Florida, she helped lead broker and franchisor relations for one of the nation’s largest franchise broker networks, managing relationships with over 400 brands and growing the network’s inventory by nearly 50%.
Her expertise continued to expand while working with the renowned Spadea Lignana Franchise Attorneys, assisting business owners through the process of becoming franchisors. She has also worked with multiple emerging franchise brands, guiding them through nationwide expansion, compliance, and franchise sales strategy.
At GoFranchise, Chelsie plays an instrumental role in franchise development and consulting—connecting qualified candidates with top-tier brands and helping franchisors refine their systems for sustainable growth. Her approach blends deep business acumen with a personal touch, drawing on her background in education and her natural ability to coach and inspire others.
Chelsie holds a Master’s degree in Teaching and is a Certified Franchise Consultant (CFC) through IFPG. Outside of work, she loves spending time with her husband, young son, and golden-doodle—often found at playgrounds, splash pads, or Disney World. She’s also building her own business, balancing entrepreneurship with family life, and proving that success and fulfillment can go hand-in-hand.
