Gareth Horne

Created and directed four successful cohorts of students with no prior experience across multiple high schools and colleges in Ontario.

Each group of students was given a welcoming environment, a kindhearted leader, and real deal industry experience.

Both the admins at these institutions and each student I have worked with has said how wonderful it was to work alongside me, and how well they have been treated as not only a work partner, but as a friend.

Broke the mould with my new style of business pitches. Every time I get up to present in front of CEC VentureLab staff, it's nothing but smiles and excitement.

My style quickly became associated with a kickass attitude and high energy.

I was tasked with being a final act that would give CEOs and founders from Brazil something to remember, and I delivered.

The pitch was improvised and I turned a semi-casual business conference into a party.

Over my week in Brazil on the FINBrazil 2024 mission, I consistently delivered fantastic pitches that brightened the room and made a huge impact wherever I spoke.

Each day I was tasked with being the final act and was responsible for making sure everyone had a great time.

A majority of these pitches were improvised a couple minutes prior to presenting.
