The Palm Beach County CVB named Jorge Pesquera its new president and CEO, effective Nov. 1.
Pesquera comes to his new position with 30 years of hospitality industry experience, having worked since 2004 as president and CEO of the Aruba Hotel and Tourism Association.
Pesquera comes to the bureau at a time of recovery. The bureau’s former CEO, Warren “Mac” McLaughlin, was forced to resign last November amid a scandal in which the organization’s controller, Donna Duffer, stole $1.6 million from the bureau.
