Luminar Media Group – Fortun Appoints Industry Banking Veteran Juan M. Sese as Chief Financial Officer

With the Appointment of Juan M. Sese as CFO, Luminar Media Group – Fortun Continues Strengthening Corporate Governance to Support Capital Markets Strategy and Long-Term Growth

MIAMI, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / February 3, 2026 / Luminar Media Group, Inc. (OTCID:LRGR) (“Luminar” or the “Company”), a fintech-focused holding company and the parent of the Fortun family of subsidiaries, today announced the appointment of Juan M. Sese as Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

“Juan has been an early believer in Fortun’s vision and has played a key role in instilling the financial discipline that supports our growth,” said Yoel Damas, President of Luminar Media Group, Inc. “From the earliest days – when Fortun Advance was still an idea – Juan has been hands-on, helping build the reporting, controls, and analytical framework that now underpin our platform. As we continue to strengthen our corporate governance and prepare for the next phase of growth, his transition from Vice President of Finance at Fortun Advance to Chief Financial Officer at the corporate level brings continuity, rigor, and experienced leadership at exactly the right time.”

Mr. Sese brings more than 25 years of experience across finance, strategy, and corporate development. He began his career at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, where he advised affluent individuals and institutional clients throughout Latin America. He has developed a strong track record in business strategy, private equity, and mergers and acquisitions, with a particular focus on logistics, distribution, and land development in South Florida. Mr. Sese earned his MBA in Business and Finance from University of Miami and has held multiple financial licenses, including Series 3, 7, 24, 31, and 65. He is also a lifetime member of Beta Kappa Sigma.

“Fortun isn’t just a strong operating model – it’s a disciplined, data-driven platform that can scale responsibly,” said Mr. Sese. “What stood out to me from day one was the combination of real demand from underserved small businesses, a team that executes, and a culture that respects risk. As CFO, my focus will be on strengthening reporting and controls, optimizing capital and liquidity, and helping ensure that growth translates into durable cash flow and long-term shareholder value. I’m honored to step into this role at such an important stage in the Company’s evolution.”
