History
Scott Marr is the CEO of Koala Insulation, creating the company in 2018 and leading its growth and franchise model development. The philosophies that drive him in this role evolved through his first company, Fleet Clean USA. Scott created it as a single mobile business unit at just 15 years old, even hiring a friend to work as a driver. He gives credit to his family’s example of drive and diligence as the groundwork for his success. Under Scott’s leadership, the business demonstrated double- and triple-digit growth year over year. In 2013, Fleet Clean adopted a franchise model. The business grew to cover 400+ cities nationwide and earned back-to-back spots on the Entrepreneur Top 100 list of new franchise rankings. Prioritizing others, Scott's foremost foundational value, he focuses on the importance of doing what you say, saying what you’ll do, and honoring your word. This is followed closely by the tenet to never take yourself too seriously. Within Koala, Scott’s penchant for mentoring and advising takes center stage. He believes in ultimately serving the customer base through well-trained and supported franchisees. Today, Koala has awarded over 330 territories, with 280 territories operational, and continue to show a strong year-over-year increase in earnings.
