Mediterránea Beach & Golf Community has appointed Agustín García Pascual as the company’s new chief business officer, replacing Calle Carlsson, who is moving on after ten years at the resort. He joins the company with a dedicated passion for golf and real estate having worked in the industry for over 20 years, managing some of Spain’s finest golf and leisure facilities. His appointment coincides with a change of direction for the company as they look to focus on the overall growth and integrated management of the resort, with a commercial approach for the new residential development that is currently under construction.
Having started his professional career in golf management as general manager of PGA Golf Catalunya in 1999 after a professional football career at Racing Santander, he was responsible for positioning the resort at the forefront of the industry by securing numerous European Tour events and several Spanish Opens during his 11-year tenure. In 2009, he was appointed general director at Real Golf de Pedreña, a historic club founded in 1928 and was responsible, along with five other historic golf courses, for the creation of what is now the Royal Spanish Golf Federation.
In his most recent position, Pascual has served as director of the Seve Ballesteros Foundation, dedicated to promoting the fight and clinical research of brain tumours, preserving the legacy and transmitting the values of its founder, as well as supporting children and young people without resources in the development of their careers in the sport of golf. Speaking upon the company’s announcement of his new position, Pascual said: “I am excited to be a part of this wonderful resort, it is an exciting challenge for me, and I am keen to help the company reach new heights. I am eager to meet all the staff and help them excel in the roles that each one of them play in order to drive the team to the next level.”
