Matt Gaudio Named Tusker CEO, Leading Rapidly Growing IT Firm

Will Continue Successful Growth Strategy Spearheaded by Departing CEO Matt Zafirovski

CHICAGO, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tusker, a midmarket IT services provider with a growing national footprint, today announced that company executive Matt Gaudio has been named Chief Executive Officer. He succeeds Matt Zafirovski, who has accepted a leadership position with a publicly traded technology firm after six years with Tusker that included multiple acquisitions and culminated in the strongest performance in company history earlier this year.

Gaudio is a 20-year technology industry veteran who most recently served as Tusker's Chief Solutions Officer, a second-in-command position in which he was responsible for solutions, professional services, managed services and delivery operations. He has been instrumental in implementing the "One Tusker" strategy designed to integrate the operations of all acquired companies and position the organization for long-term growth.

"Matt Zafirovski's leadership helped build the momentum we have today and set the stage for ongoing growth by establishing the ability to meet an increasingly broad range of client IT needs," Gaudio said. "Half of our growth to date has been organic and half has been achieved through acquisition, and we expect that to continue as we advance toward our goal of becoming a $1 billion company."

"Matt Gaudio knows our people, our customers and our strategy, and he has been central to our One Tusker transformation," said Mike Zafirovski, Tusker Executive Chairman. "The Board and I appreciate Matt Z's leadership over the past six years, wish him the best in his next post, and have full confidence that Matt G is the right leader for Tusker's next chapter."

Known as ACP CreativIT until a rebranding earlier this year, Tusker originated with Arlington Computer Products (ACP), a Chicago-area IT hardware distributor founded in 1984. The Zaf Group investment firm acquired ACP in 2017 as the first step in a strategic plan to build a technology services organization with a comprehensive suite of capabilities, broad geographic coverage, and a dedication to developing long-term client relationships.

The company then acquired Green Bay-based Camera Corner Connecting Point in 2018, Duluth's Citon Computer Corporation in 2022, Boston's Versatile Communications seven months later, Chicago-based Mindsight in 2025, and Cleveland-based cybersecurity specialist Fortress SRM last month. All six companies had decades of experience in their respective communities, strong regional reputations, customer-centric cultures, and owner-operators who remain active in the business today.

Tusker currently has major hubs in Chicago, Boston, Green Bay, Duluth, Eau Claire and Cleveland with a team of more than 450 including 250 technologists. It serves clients ranging from prominent local organizations to businesses with a global footprint, including those in the education, healthcare, retail, manufacturing and government/public sectors.

"Tusker's growth has been remarkable, and I'm gratified to have played a role in that over the last six years," said Matt Zafirovski, who served as company CEO for the last four years after two years as COO. "Matt G has been a driving force in fusing the capabilities of our acquired companies, and I can't think of a better person to lead Tusker into its next phase of growth."

Track Rabbit Just Became Automotive's Event HQ
Image File
Original HTML

With thousands of event listings updated daily, and several flexible ways for organizers to use the platform, Track Rabbit is now the one place to find — and run — automotive and motorsport events.

WEST CHESTER, Pa., Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Track Rabbit, the marketing-based event registration, member management, and administrative e-commerce platform for automotive enthusiasts and the motorsport industry, has expanded its event database to thousands of listings, refreshed daily. Whether an organizer uses Track Rabbit to run registration or simply lists an event for free marketing exposure, Track Rabbit is now the central destination for automotive and motorsport events nationwide.

Several Ways to Use Track Rabbit — On Your Terms

This expansion builds on Track Rabbit's recently launched onsite payment feature, which gives grassroots and social organizers — cars & coffee meetups, cruise-ins, local track days, and similar events — the ability to collect payment their own way, with cash, Venmo, PayPal, or whatever method suits them. Between the growing event database and that flexibility, organizers now have several ways to work with Track Rabbit:

- Keep Events Up as Free Marketing: Run registration wherever it already lives, and list the event on Track Rabbit at no cost for exposure to the platform's full automotive and motorsport audience.

- Use Track Rabbit as Registration and Membership, But Collect Your Own Payment: Use Track Rabbit for registration, membership, and event management, and collect payment independently — cash, Venmo, PayPal, or any processor — at a fraction of competitor cost.

- Use Track Rabbit for Registration and Membership and Secure Payment Processing System: Use Track Rabbit end-to-end, including its built-in payment processor, for transaction fees at cost plus the same small platform fee — still a fraction of competitor cost.

A Free White Label Site for Every Organizer

Regardless of which option an organizer chooses, Track Rabbit also offers a free white-labeled page listing only that organizer's own events for their own audience. The feature is already a proven success among Track Rabbit's largest clients, driving increased event attendance by giving organizers a branded destination to send their own following.

"From day one, our mission has been to support and uplift every segment of the automotive and motorsports community — from the biggest race series to the smallest weekend meetup. Staying true to this idea is exactly what has led to us becoming the central location for motorsports enthusiasts, while also opening up real opportunity for low budget organizers who have never had access to tools like this before." — David Atadan, Co-Founder at Track Rabbit.

Key Benefits Include:

- One Central Destination: Thousands of automotive and motorsport events, refreshed daily, make Track Rabbit the go-to source for what's happening across the industry.

- Flexibility at Every Level: Organizers choose the level of involvement that fits them — free listing only, registration with independent payment, or fully processed registration and payment.

- Pricing Built for Grassroots and Pro Organizers Alike: Tiered monthly pricing and at-cost transaction fees keep costs a fraction of competitor platforms.

- Free Branded Visibility: Every organizer, at any tier, can claim a free white-label page to drive their own audience to their events.

BRUICHLADDICH INTRODUCES THE SECOND EXPRESSION OF THE LADDIE RYE, EXCLUSIVELY IN THE U.S.
Image File
Original HTML

- The 2026 expression of The Laddie Rye is now available in the U.S. Distilled using locally grown Islay rye and Islay malting barley from the Bruichladdich Distillery's Hebridean home

- Beyond exceptional flavor, The Laddie Rye champions regenerative agriculture and soil health, aligning with the B Corp certified distillery's mission to balance profit, purpose and planet

- The latest release coincides with Bruichladdich Distillery's 25th anniversary, celebrating over two decades of progressive whisky-making

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the success of The Laddie Rye's U.S. debut in 2025, Bruichladdich announces the launch of the second expression of its Islay-grown rye whisky. Exclusively available in the United States, the latest release is distilled using locally grown rye and Islay malting barley, harvested within an 11-mile radius of the Hebridean distillery.

Aged for six years, ultra-high provenance and fully traceable from farm to bottle, every drop of The Laddie Rye has been harvested, distilled, matured and bottled on its island home. As a rotational crop, rye helps diversify the soil and reduce the need for agrochemicals, supporting regenerative agriculture and long-term soil health. Bruichladdich has worked with local farming partner Andrew Jones of Coull Farm since 2017 to cultivate the climate-resilient crop and is currently the only distillery on Islay producing a rye whisky.

Distilled from a single-farm 2019 harvest and bottled at 50% ABV, The Laddie Rye was matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon barrels and second-fill American Virgin Oak casks. A selection of bourbon barrels was returned to the cooperage to be de-charred and re-charred, breathing new life into the wood and adding a distinct undercurrent of smoldering, toasted oak to the whisky.

"We really leaned into experimentation and interesting wood types when it came to this release," said Bruichladdich Master Blender, Adam Hannett. "The de-char/re-char of the ex-bourbon barrels adds depth and complexity, bringing immense wood spice and a robust leathery oak character that beautifully complements the earthiness of the Islay-grown rye.

"Armed with knowledge from the inaugural rye expression, our mashmen were able to extract even more from the grain this time around. Still true to Bruichladdich's signature elegant, citrus character, The Laddie Rye takes the spirit in a new direction – resulting in a refined, layered and earthy expression. It's a whisky about place, authenticity and a true celebration of our raw ingredients."

Viscous, aromatic spice, crushed cloves and toasted coconut open on the nose. The influence of the island-grown rye comes to the forefront with dark licorice root, peppery heat and aniseed on the palate, enhanced with the toasted oak character from the re-charred barrels. Soft honeyed fruit, caramel and warm citrus notes bring balance and brightness, while a hint of coastal sea air lingers on the finish.

Since the distillery's resurrection in 2001, Bruichladdich has championed diverse cereal growing in an effort to reconnect whisky with its essential raw ingredient. Now 25 years on, the distillery has built a vast cereal growing program, exploring organic, biodynamic and regenerative farming methods, ancient barley varietals and Islay-grown grains.

Today, Bruichladdich works with 19 farming partners across Islay to cultivate more than 50% of the malting barley used in its total production. The Laddie Rye is crafted with a distinct mash bill that features a combination of both Islay grown rye and malting barley.

Coinciding with the distillery's 25th anniversary, the release of this latest expression of The Laddie Rye is a testament to Bruichladdich's unwavering commitment to balance people, profit and planet. The distillery was the first Scotch whisky company in the world to achieve B Corp certification in 2020 and continues to use its business as a force for good.

The Laddie Rye, priced at $59.99, is exclusively available for purchase in the United States at us.bruichladdich.com and at selected specialist retailers.

Flavor profile:

- Nose: Crushed cloves, aniseed and licorice balanced with vanilla, caramel and toasted coconut.

- Palate: Peppery spice, clove, nutmeg, soft caramel, orchard fruits and smoldering oak.

- Finish: Earthy rye intertwines with warm oak spice, fading to honeyed fruit and bright citrus.

Kentucky Legend Partners with Competitive Bass Angler Andrew Krintz
Image File
Original HTML

Partnership celebrates a "Legend in the Making" as Krintz makes his career in professional fishing.

OWENSBORO, Ky., Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kentucky Legend, maker of premium ham and bacon, is proud to announce a partnership with competitive bass angler Andrew Krintz — a young fisherman Kentucky Legend believes is a Legend in the Making.

Krintz has loved fishing since childhood. Today, he competes for Purdue University in collegiate tournaments across the country, where he has qualified for a national collegiate championship. His sights are now set professionally on angling within Major League Fishing.

For Kentucky Legend, the partnership is about more than fishing. It's about supporting someone who shares the values that have defined the brand for generations: a love of tradition, family, community and doing something you love with everything you've got.

"Andrew is exactly the kind of person we mean when we talk about a Legend in the Making," said Mike Riley, Chief Growth Officer. "He's talented and driven, but he's also incredibly grounded. We love his story, his connection to family and tradition, and the genuine joy he gets from being out on the water. We're excited to be along for the ride."

And Kentucky Legend is a pretty natural fit for that ride.

Tournament days often start before sunrise and stretch for hours before weigh-in, and Andrew has been known to bring a ham sandwich along to keep him going. Kentucky Legend has a variety of ham, bacon, lunchmeat, and hot dogs that are perfect for lunch in a boat or bringing your family together at home.

"I've loved fishing since I was a kid, and getting to compete at this level is something I've dreamed about for a long time," said Krintz. "To have Kentucky Legend believe in me and become part of this journey means a lot. And I'm definitely not complaining about having Kentucky Legend ham sandwiches in the boat."

The partnership will follow Krintz on and off the water, from early mornings and long tournament days to travel, weigh-ins and the people and communities that make competitive fishing special.

For Kentucky Legend, it's a chance to support a legend in the making while becoming part of the traditions, friendships and shared meals that happen well beyond the dinner table.

Expanded agreement increases argenx's exclusive access to ENHANZE® from six to eight targets

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: HALO) ("Halozyme" or the "Company") today announced that it has expanded its global collaboration and license agreement with argenx to develop and commercialize ENHANZE® with two additional exclusive targets.

"We are pleased to expand our collaboration with argenx, a recognized leader in immunology, building on the successful development of VYVGART Hytrulo," said Dr. Helen Torley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Halozyme. "The addition of two new exclusive targets further validates the value and versatility of ENHANZE as the leading platform for rapid, large-volume subcutaneous delivery. As more companies seek to focus on patient convenience, reducing treatment burden and expanding access to important therapies, ENHANZE continues to be the technology of choice. This expanded agreement strengthens our growing portfolio of partnered programs and reinforces the significant long-term opportunity for ENHANZE across a broad range of therapeutic areas."

"Our partnership with Halozyme shows what co-creation can do for patients," said Arjen Lemmen, Vice President of Corporate Development and Strategy, argenx. "Together, we brought VYVGART Hytrulo to people living with MG and CIDP, which gave patients a subcutaneous option that fits more easily into their lives. Expanding to two more targets lets us bring that same focus on patient experience to more of our pipeline as we build a broader immunology portfolio. We're proud to keep building on a partnership, rooted in shared ambition and scientific rigor."

Halozyme is eligible to receive payments upon achievement of agreed upon milestones and will receive royalties on net sales of products using ENHANZE®.

About Halozyme

Halozyme is a biopharmaceutical company advancing disruptive solutions to improve patient experiences and outcomes for emerging and established therapies. As the innovators of ENHANZE® drug delivery technology with the proprietary enzyme rHuPH20, Halozyme's commercially-validated solution facilitates the subcutaneous delivery of injected drugs and fluids, reducing treatment burden and improving convenience.

Together, Hypercon™ and Aerocon™ complement ENHANZE® by enabling creation and delivery of highly concentrated biologics. The Hypercon™ technology has been licensed to leading biopharmaceutical partners, including Janssen, Eli Lilly, argenx, Vertex Pharmaceuticals and Oruka Therapeutics.
