Charles Tellis
Founder & CEO, Tru North Franchise Advisors
Strategic Franchise Advisor |Certified Franchise Consultant | U.S. Navy Veteran
Charles knows the meaning of purpose-driven service. He discovered that true leadership is about purpose, strategy, and serving others. His background in supply chain management, financial management, and strategic planning taught him how structure and teamwork create the foundation for lasting success.
When Charles retired from the Navy, he took time to reflect on what truly mattered most. That period of reflection helped him realign with his core values and rediscover his True North. He realized his mission hadn’t ended with his military career, it had simply evolved. Today, that same sense of purpose drives his work as he helps others find freedom and fulfillment through franchise ownership.
That calling led to the creation of Tru North Franchise Advisors, a firm dedicated to helping people align their goals, values, and lifestyle with the right franchise opportunities. Charles believes success should be personal built around who you are, what you value, and the life you want to create.
As a Certified Franchise Consultant (CFC) and proud member of the International Franchise Professionals Group (IFPG), Charles connects his clients with a powerful network of proven franchise systems, trusted industry experts, and valuable resources to help them make informed and confident decisions about business ownership.
