Correction at 6m30s:
In horizontal markets, folks working in particular job roles are in fact working in industries. Sometimes, when professionals change jobs, they may stay in the same vertical market (industry), but they also may transition into another industry while maintaining their role.
For example, a CMO might work at a law firm, and later transition into the same CMO role at a real estate firm.
