WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PSQ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PSQH) (“PublicSq.”), a leading marketplace of patriotic businesses and consumers, today announced that Senator Kelly L. Loeffler has been appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors.
“Senator Kelly Loeffler is a pitch-perfect addition to the PublicSq. Board of Directors. No one brings as much Wall Street, public sector, and entrepreneurial experience while fully understanding the 100+ million Americans and small business owners that we are built to serve,” said Michael Seifert, PublicSq.’s Chairman of the Board and CEO. “Kelly is further proof that our Company will attract extraordinary talent to grow and serve our multi-billion dollar untapped values-aligned marketplace.”
In 2002, Ms. Loeffler helped lead Intercontinental Exchange’s (NYSE: ICE) successful IPO on the New York Stock Exchange. She launched Bakkt (NYSE: BKKT) as its Founding Chief Executive Officer in 2018. In December 2019, she was appointed to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate. She has served on numerous corporate and nonprofit boards including the Atlanta Sports Council, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Bakkt Inc., Georgia Power, Grady Memorial Hospital Corp., Georgia Research Alliance, Metro Atlanta Red Cross, and Skyland Trail. She currently serves on the Boards of the Republican State Leadership Committee, the University System of Georgia Foundation, and Atlanta’s Holy Spirit Preparatory School.
“I am thrilled to join the Board of Directors at PublicSq.,” said Loeffler. “This business is providing an alternative to tens of millions of Americans who seek to buy from companies that share their values. I look forward to supporting the PublicSq. team as they bring about this commercial revolution. And while still in their infancy, PublicSq. has already achieved tremendous growth and yet has so much more potential that I am eager to help them reach.”
Loeffler assumes the Board seat previously held by Caroline Carralero, who will turn her attention full-time to EveryLife Inc. (“EveryLife”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PublicSq., where Carralero is CEO.
Michael Seifert said, in closing, “Today is another exciting day at PublicSq. I am thrilled to welcome Kelly to the Board, and I am also delighted with the early progress of our owned and operated EveryLife brand, which has quickly surpassed our internal growth expectations since its very recent launch in mid-July.”
