NextGen Label Group has announced a planned leadership transition that reinforces its commitment to strategic growth and innovation. Starting in early 2025, Tom Faugno, who has served as chief sales officer, will transition to the role of strategic sales advisor. The move reflects an effort to leverage Faugno’s industry expertise and insights, ensuring continued support for the company’s strategy and commercial objectives. 

In his new role, Faugno will focus on fostering partnerships, providing strategic counsel, and strengthening key customer and industry relationships that have been instrumental in NextGen Label Group’s success. 

“It has been an honor to lead the sales team at NextGen Label Group,” says Tom Faugno. “Transitioning to the strategic sales advisor role allows me to focus on broader initiatives and long-term opportunities to position the company for sustained growth. I look forward to continuing to contribute to NextGen’s success and supporting the exceptional leadership team we have in place.” 

Tom Mason, who joined NextGen Label Group in late 2024, will formally assume leadership of the commercial side of the business as vice president of sales. With over 33 years of experience in the label and packaging industries, Tom Mason has already begun implementing strategies to expand NextGen’s market presence and drive sales growth across all divisions. 

“Over the past months, I’ve been impressed by the talent and dedication of our team, as well as the innovative solutions we provide to our customers,” comments Mason. “I look forward to building on the strong foundation Tom Faugno has created and working closely with our leadership team to deliver value to our customers and drive future growth.” 

“We deeply appreciate Tom Faugno’s exceptional leadership as Chief Sales Officer and are eager to leverage his strategic expertise in this new role,” states Tom Sargent, president of NextGen Label Group. “With Tom Mason taking on the Vice President of Sales position, we are strategically poised to enhance our growth initiatives, cultivate stronger customer relationships, and drive innovation throughout the marketplace.”
