Stran & Company Promotes Jack Audibert to Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Compliance Officer

Quincy, MA, Nov. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stran & Company, Inc. ("Stran" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SWAG) (NASDAQ: SWAGW), a leading outsourced marketing solutions provider that leverages its promotional products and loyalty incentive expertise, is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has appointed Jack Audibert to Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) and Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). Mr. Audibert had previously served as Vice President of Growth and Strategic Initiatives since joining the Company in 2020. This expanded role aligns the Company’s leadership structure with its growth priorities and evolving operational needs.

“Jack has been an invaluable member of our senior management team for many years,” said Andy Shape, Chief Executive Officer of Stran. “His leadership has supported the Company through multiple phases of expansion, from our earlier development efforts through to our IPO and subsequent growth as a public company. He has played a central role in both our organic initiatives and our M&A strategy, including the acquisition and integration of six companies. His strategic discipline, operational insight, and deep understanding of our business have been instrumental in advancing our long-term objectives, and we look forward to his continued contributions as we work to further strengthen our leadership position in the multi-billion-dollar promotional products industry.”

“I’m honored by the confidence the Board and Andy have placed in me,” said Mr. Audibert. “Stran has entered an exciting phase of growth, and I’m committed to helping drive disciplined execution across our strategic initiatives, integrations, and expanding operational footprint. We have a tremendous opportunity to build on our heritage, strengthen our leadership position in the industry, and continue delivering value for our customers, partners, and shareholders.”

Mr. Audibert’s expanded responsibilities formalize oversight areas he has long influenced across the organization while positioning him to play an even greater role in shaping the Company’s future. As CSO, he will continue to lead Stran’s corporate planning, evaluate and advance new growth opportunities, and guide the strategic framework supporting the Company’s next phase of expansion. As CCO, he will oversee Stran’s regulatory and compliance functions, which are increasingly critical given the expanding operational footprint of the Company’s Stran Loyalty Solutions segment. Following the Gander Group acquisition, casino-related licensing, regulatory obligations, and compliance requirements demand heightened structure and coordination. Formalizing Mr. Audibert’s role provides this structure and positions the Company to scale effectively, integrate future acquisitions, and execute its strategic priorities.
