Therese left high school with poor marks and no uni offers. Now, she’s the CEO of Oporto

But it was some post-HSC words of wisdom from her parents, and her teenage part-time job on another fast-food franchise’s restaurant floor, that set Frangie on her C-suite path.

“KFC offered me an assistant manager role and I thought, ‘OK’. My parents were like, ‘Just do something.’

“That was their thing, you just have to do something. So I took the full-time assistant manager role, and then I realised, actually, I really like business.”

And the rest, as they say, is history.
