Stewards Inc. (OTC: SWRD), a diversified financial company operating across private credit, real assets and digital finance, has appointed Scott McGowan as its chief marketing officer. The appointment comes as the company expands its operating segments and advances toward a planned Nasdaq Capital Market uplisting. McGowan will lead integrated marketing and communications for the firm.
McGowan brings more than 20 years of experience advising growth-stage companies on brand positioning, capital-markets strategy and stakeholder engagement. He previously served as director of investor relations at InvestorBrandNetwork and was CEO of a strategic communications consultancy. His background in financial communications and investor relations is seen as critical for Stewards as it navigates a period of significant corporate development.
President Shaun Quin stated that McGowan will strengthen transparency and unify messaging as Stewards enters its next phase of growth. This move signals the company's commitment to enhancing its market profile and stakeholder communications ahead of key milestones. The role will involve coordinating all external communications and marketing efforts across the company's diversified platform, which includes private credit, real asset investments, and digital finance operations.
Stewards Inc., formerly known as FAVO Capital Inc., describes itself as a diversified private credit, real asset, and digital finance platform advancing responsible growth through disciplined underwriting, technology-driven analytics, and transparent governance. The company provides scalable financing and structured credit solutions to small and mid-sized businesses across the United States and is building a portfolio of income-producing real estate and digital-treasury assets designed to enhance balance sheet stability.
The appointment of a dedicated chief marketing officer with capital markets experience is particularly significant given the company's stated goal of uplisting to the Nasdaq Capital Market. Such a move typically requires enhanced investor relations, consistent messaging, and greater market visibility to meet exchange requirements and attract institutional investment. McGowan's experience at InvestorBrandNetwork, part of the InvestorWire platform, suggests Stewards is prioritizing sophisticated financial communications as it prepares for this transition.
For investors and market observers, this executive appointment represents more than a routine personnel change. It reflects strategic preparation for increased regulatory scrutiny, broader investor outreach, and the communications demands of being a publicly traded company on a major exchange.
