PublicSquare Appoints Dusty Wunderlich as Chief Executive Officer
New Leadership Reinforces Progress Toward Fintech Focus
PSQ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PSQH) ("PublicSquare" or the "Company"), today announced that Dusty Wunderlich has been appointed CEO, effective immediately, as the Company continues its transition to core fintech businesses, including credit and payments. Mr Wunderlich was recently appointed Chairman of the Board of PublicSquare and will remain in that role. As part of this transition, Michael Seifert has stepped down as Chief Executive Officer and resigned from the Company's Board of Directors, effective January 27, 2026.
Mr. Wunderlich was CEO of Credova until PublicSquare acquired the company in March 2024. Given his fintech experience and deep knowledge of the Company's operations, most recently as its Chief Strategy Officer, the Board believes Mr. Wunderlich is the person best positioned to ensure the continued execution of the Company's strategic priorities.
"This leadership change is a critical step in the Company's transition toward credit and payments, with a focus on cash flow efficiency. We are grateful for Michael's founding vision and his support of this transition," said Blake Masters, Lead Independent Director.
"It has been a tremendous privilege to found this company and serve as its CEO," said Mr. Seifert. "Dusty's significant fintech experience enables him to deliver growth and execution for stockholders. Dusty proved to the board that he is ready for the job. Going forward, no one is better positioned to lead PublicSquare than Dusty."
"On behalf of the board and the company, I want to thank Michael for guiding the company through its early stages of development and growth," said Mr. Wunderlich. "During his tenure at PublicSquare, he built a strong team of dedicated employees and set the company on a path towards its future as a fintech leader."
Mr. Wunderlich added, "The board has been diligent in making strategic decisions as part of the company's decisive refocus on fintech. This is another step in that direction and sets the company up for stability and growth in our core business. This is about execution and growth toward long-term profitability. I look forward to working closely with the board and our executives to create momentum and deliver on our goals in 2026 and beyond."
