Zagwear has hired Gaspar as director of sales and marketing.

At Zagwear, Gaspar’s charge is to oversee strategic sales and marketing initiatives, leading a team that’s set on propelling business growth and deeper client relationships, executives said.

“I am honored to join such a dynamic and creative global company,” said Gaspar. “I look forward to collaborating with the talented team at Zagwear to deliver unmatched value to our clients and helping to drive innovation and growth in the ever-evolving promotional products industry.”

Gaspar’s other past industry experience includes being vice president of branding and promotions at Vanguard (asi/350665) and vice president of marketing and business development at Positive Promotions (asi/297370). An active volunteer in promo, Gaspar serves as vice chair of the SAAGNY Foundation, the goodwill arm of the Specialty Advertising Association of Greater New York.
