Stewards Inc. (OTC: SWRD), a diversified financial company operating across private credit, real assets and digital finance, has appointed Scott McGowan as 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 company. 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 both investor relations and strategic communications positions him to manage Stewards' messaging during 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. The company operates as a diversified private credit, real asset, and digital finance platform that advances responsible growth through disciplined underwriting, technology-driven analytics, and transparent governance. It provides scalable financing and structured credit solutions to small and mid-sized businesses across the United States while building a portfolio of income-producing real estate and digital-treasury assets that enhance balance sheet stability. The appointment signals Stewards' commitment to enhancing its market presence and communications strategy as it pursues a Nasdaq listing. Public companies listed on major exchanges typically face increased scrutiny and communication demands from investors, analysts, and regulatory bodies. McGowan's experience in capital-markets strategy and stakeholder engagement will be crucial for navigating this transition and maintaining consistent messaging across all company communications.
Stewards, formerly known as FAVO Capital Inc., continues to operate across its three core segments: private credit, real assets, and digital finance.

The move reflects broader trends in financial services where diversified platforms must clearly articulate their value propositions across multiple business lines to attract capital and build sustainable growth trajectories.
