Alejandro Betancourt, a successful businessman who had a great deal of achievement in the natural oil sector. As is sometimes the case with men of great success is that he continued looking for other avenue to make his mark on the world of industry.

This time he truly stepped out of his comfort zone when he acquired a large percentage of shares in the sunglasses company Hawkers. But how did this impressive success for Alejandro Betancourt happen? The story goes something like this. On a trip to the United States a group of friends from Spain became acquainted with the brand known for its sophisticated style and exclusivity. This happened around 2010 when most of the world shut down due to the Covid 19 pandemic.

When the friends tried to promote the brand with the miniscule investment, they were able to scrape together they posted them on a classified site online. The 27 pairs of glasses they bought sold out quickly, so they ordered more and soon took it on themselves to be the sole and exclusive distributor of Hawkers sunglasses in Spain.

Soon Alejandro Betancourt who was known for investing in a wide range of small companies became interested in Hawkers. Betancourt had studied business in the United States and then returned home to Venezuela, the country of his birth. He became interested in investing in Hawkers but decided that he needed to be part of the corporate leadership and so was named as president of the company after he raised over $56 million in capital for Hawkers.

Alejandro Betancourt believes that even if a single person raises all the capital for a project, they need a team to make success happen in just the right way. That has happened for Hawkers which now has multiple millions of dollars in annual revenue and sells over 10,000 pair of sunglasses very day. Go Here for related Information.
