A leadership business providing support and mentorship for managing directors and CEOs in Yorkshire has made a strategic hire.
Carlos Horner has joined Wetherby-based Pabasso as an associate director and board chair.
The dual role will see him work to expand Pabasso's reach and form his own peer support board of Yorkshire business leaders.
Mr Horner began his career as an equity research analyst in London before moving to investment management, where he managed specialist funds for Charlemagne Capital and Progressive Asset Management.
As sales and marketing director at Progressive, he supported launches of investment funds to investors globally.
Mr Horner is also the author of the Amazon business book, The Sales Plan, and the creator of the PILOT method, a sales and business development training programme that focuses on five core elements of selling.
He will use his expertise to help develop Pabasso's growth vision alongside founder Richard Doyle.
Mr Horner said: "The Pabasso model is incredibly powerful because it creates a space where SME business leaders can share their significant knowledge and wisdom to benefit one another.
"As well as being a rewarding experience, sitting on a Pabasso board is transformational for the MDs and CEOs involved, who can draw on the experience in the room to drive their organisation forward."
Pabasso provides business support for MDs and CEOs through monthly group meetings and one-to-one mentoring sessions.
Mr Doyle said: "I am delighted to welcome Carlos to the Pabasso team and am confident that his leadership will drive meaningful results for our members and the organisation as a whole.
"Having Carlos on the team means we can immediately open up new opportunities for MDs and CEOs to experience the benefits of peer advisory boards.
"We welcome interest from MDs and CEOs with an ambition for growth who will benefit from the strategic leadership, sales, and team development experience that Carlos and other board members can share with them.
"Our mission is to make peer advisory boards one of the key support functions for established business leaders to help fuel economic growth in the region."
Mr Doyle founded Esteem Systems in 1985 and grew it into a £30 million technology business before selling it in 2004.
He then worked as a plural non-executive director before founding Pabasso.
