Mayanor Ventures has appointed Daniel Horan, President of Pharma Landing, and Thomas J. Fjell, Partner at Arntzen Grette, to its Board of Directors. Both bring significant experience in scaling businesses, strategic governance, and innovation from across Latin America and beyond. In addition to their Board roles, Horan and Fjell will also become investors in Mayanor.‍

‍

Daniel Horan leads Pharma Landing, a company focused on accelerating access to healthcare innovation across Latin America. He sees strong parallels between healthcare and fintech in the region, particularly around the need for more agile, connected ecosystems.

‍

“Latin America holds enormous opportunity for fintech companies due to its growing ecosystem, rapid digitalization, increasing demand for financial services, and the adoption of modern regulations. The Mayanor team’s experience is unbeatable for realizing this opportunity,” says Horan.

‍

Thomas Fjell has a strong background in corporate governance and strategic growth, bringing to the table his experience guiding companies through expansion and structural transitions.

‍

“I was impressed by Mayanor’s strong team that has a deep understanding of both technology and consumer behavior in Latin America. The combination of proven fintech experience, a scalable business model, and a market that’s ready for digital payment innovation makes this a compelling moment to get involved,” says Fjell.

‍

Daniel Horan and Thomas Fjell were elected to their Board roles on 6 October 2025 during an extraordinary shareholder meeting. They both cite the unique opportunity to bring people and businesses simpler, cheaper, and more seamless ways to transact as one of the main drivers behind their individual investments in the company.

‍

Christopher Laska, Chair of the Board for Mayanor Ventures, welcomes the new appointments.

‍

“We are thrilled to have Daniel and Thomas join the Board. Their strategic insight, regional expertise, and commitment to responsible growth will be key as Mayanor rolls out its Olanzo payment and loyalty app in Costa Rica and later across the region. Their decision to also invest personally in the company is a great testament to their belief in our team, our vision, and our potential.”

‍

Mayanor Ventures continues to build its presence in Latin America through its company Olanzo, which is currently launching its payment and loyalty technology in Costa Rica as a first step.

The company’s Board of Directors now consists of: Christopher Laska (Chair), Bjørn Forslund, Kjetil Skogsholm, Daniel Horan, and Thomas Fjell.
