Santiago Otero Armengol, president and founder of Evenpro Corp, has left an indelible mark on the global entertainment industry. With a career spanning more than four decades, Otero is known for his ability to transform uncertainty into success, an approach that began with a surfing championship at the age of 17 and has been consolidated in the successful direction of large-scale events, which have attracted up to one and a half million people.
The path or major wave mastered and surfed by Otero has not been conventional, but it has been full of valuable lessons. In a dramatic turn of his life, a near-death experience while surfing precisely giant waves in the Pacific offered him a unique perspective on how to face challenges and handle uncertainty. This experience not only taught him how to navigate the ocean, but also provided him with the necessary tools to manage his successful company.
Career and path forged in the waves
Santiago Otero’s story begins in youth, when he organizes and participates in his first surfing championship at the age of 17. What seemed like a simple hobby became the springboard for a career that has defined the entertainment landscape in Venezuela and beyond. Over the years, Otero has taken his passion for surfing and his business vision to the creation of internationally renowned events, establishing a legacy of innovation and success in the industry.
However, it was an extreme experience during a surf session in the Pacific that redefined his approach to life and business. Facing huge and dangerous waves taught him to remain calm as well as prudent in adverse situations, and to face uncertainty with creativity and hope. “In a world full of uncertainty, moving forward, even if it is not in a straight line, allows us to take advantage of every opportunity,” says Otero, convinced and proven.
The art of navigating uncertainty
Otero has become a master in the art of managing uncertainty, a challenge inherent to the entertainment industry. His philosophy is based on the belief that uncertainty should not be seen as an obstacle, but as an opportunity to grow and innovate. “A life without challenges is a life without growth,” Otero explains. His approach focuses on proactively identifying and addressing problems, rather than letting uncertainty paralyze us.
In event management, this translates into meticulous planning accompanied by flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances. Otero uses the analogy of surfing to illustrate his approach: “It is essential to measure the terrain and choose your wave. We must review our winds and currents,” comparing the skill needed to surf to the ability to face and overcome adversity in the business world.
The importance of a strong team
One of Evenpro’s greatest assets is its team. Otero stresses that having a committed and courageous team is crucial to facing the challenges of the uncertain world. “We must prepare for what is coming, surrounding ourselves with people willing to dare,” he says. Selecting and developing a talented team not only helps ensure success in executing events, but also brings a variety of perspectives and skills that enrich the creative process.
A team’s ability to adapt and meet challenges with resilience is vital to keeping pace in a rapidly changing industry. Otero values his team members who not only fulfill their responsibilities, but also contribute innovative ideas and creative solutions. This collaborative and proactive mindset allows Evenpro to stay ahead of the curve and overcome unexpected obstacles.
Evenpro Corp: Innovation and Social Responsibility
Evenpro Corp, under Otero’s direction, has evolved to become a leader within the entertainment industry, offering events ranging from concerts and festivals to cultural and corporate experiences. The company is known for its ability to create memorable and exciting experiential experiences, which capture the essence of fun and culture.
Likewise, social responsibility plays an important role in Evenpro’s mission. Recently, the company has announced a partnership with renowned artist Fonseca to support music and childhood in Cuyagua. This commitment reflects Otero’s vision of using the success of his company to generate a positive impact in the community. “We want to not only entertain, but also contribute to the well-being of society,” says Otero. The alliance with Fonseca seeks to promote music and offer support to children, demonstrating that Evenpro Corp cares about more than just entertainment.
