ISTANBUL, Turkey – Pantheon Holdings continues to gain international acclaim, with its Chairman Brian Poe earning the Silver Stevie Award for Executive of the Year – Business or Professional Services category at the 2024 International Business Awards. The prestigious ceremony was held last October at the InterContinental in Istanbul, Turkey. The Stevie Awards, recognized globally as the premier business awards since their inception in 2002, honor exceptional achievements and positive contributions from organizations and professionals.
Annually, more than 12,000 nominations are evaluated across nine programs, establishing the Stevie as one of the most sought-after accolades in the business world. The International Business Awards is the only fully international platform celebrating workplace achievements across industries, sectors, and organizational sizes. Pantheon Holdings received the Silver Stevie Award alongside distinguished winners in the category.
The Gold Stevie Award was conferred upon Shiju K. Varghese, country head of Tata Consultancy Services (Philippines), for his contributions to business solutions. Bronze Stevie Awards went to Jose Herrera, CEO of Horatio (New York, USA), and Alice Bautista, CEO of OneBPO (Iloilo City, Philippines), for their exceptional industry advancements.
Pantheon Holdings has been supporting startups and SMEs through business consultancy, financial and legal assistance, sales and marketing strategies, operations, and investor relations. Under the leadership of Poe, the company has diversified into industries such as AI, technology, F&B, retail, media, and blockchain, among others. “It has been an incredible journey for Pantheon over the past year,” said Faye Abrihan, CEO of Pantheon Holdings.
“We were faced with numerous challenges, but the time and effort our team has put into building our foundation have paid off. With the ecosystem we’ve created, we are excited for the synergies and opportunities ahead, especially in furthering education and training for our talent,” she added. Pantheon Holdings’ portfolio includes investments in trailblazing brands like Uma Nota, TripAdvisor Manila’s top restaurant, and JLABS, a winner of The Final Pitch Season 9, now focusing on an AI development project.
JLabs Founder and CEO Julius Pascual says, “Working with Brian and the Pantheon team has been instrumental to the growth we’ve achieved at JLabs. They take a holistic approach, assessing your needs—whether financial, marketing, networking, or beyond—and find tailored solutions to propel you to the next stage of growth. I’m truly grateful for their partnership and proud to be associated with them.
The Stevie Award is a well-deserved recognition of their hard work and impact.” The company also backs startups like Leevit, an Airbnb storage alternative; Doon, a ride-rental solution addressing Metro Manila’s traffic, which has raised over P100 million in venture capital; and Mind You, the leading mental health platform in the Philippines. Yuri Marshall, CEO of Mind You Mental Health Systems says, “Being a part of Patheon’s portfolio has been an important part of Mind You’s success.
With Brian Poe’s board advisory role, Mind You has benefitted from strategic guidance on critical decisions on our journey. Culminating with Mind You winning the Best Health Tech in ASEAN at the 2024 Global & ASEAN Start-Up Awards.” Homegrown brands supported by Pantheon include Time Master Watches, known for its collaboration with artist Dominic Rubio, and Llamanzares Barongs, which debuted at New York Fashion Week.
Pantheon also played a big role in supporting Esports helping the West Point Esports team win Silver in the 2022 Sea Games, a pivotal role in launching Asia’s first Porsche Design Racing Team, and even supported sporting leagues like Ang Liga, the 7s Football league, and Zeus Combat League.
