His pathway into entrepreneurship was inspired by his father. His father was a businessman in the transportation industry[3] but eventually created a food industry business.[2] When he was 16 years old, Libi went to Milan, Italy to study management.[3] When he returned, he worked in his father's food business.[2] Libi "made his mark as a food importer and entrepreneur" beginning in the early 2000s. That was the same time period that coincided with Hugo Chávez being in power in Venezuela.[2] Avenas Inproceca{{See also|Agriculture in Venezuela}}Crestani serves as the president of Avenas Inproceca. The company processes and distributes 24 oat products throughout Venezuela. Approximately 1,400 people work at the company.[4] Its premium oatmeal brand is called Avelina.[5] In 2012, Crestani set an ambitious goal of getting 30 percent of the oats market in Venezuela. He opened a new oat processing plant in Guatire, a city in Miranda, Venezuela.[6] Before running Avenas Inproceca, Crestani started his business career in 1996 when he was 26 years old. His first job was in his father's company overseeing 33 employees.[7] Controversial issues{{Quote box|width = 21.5em |border = 1px |align = |bgcolor = #c6dbf7 |fontsize = 85% |title_bg = |title_fnt = |title = |quoted=yes |quote = “It’s a big problem. If you work and invest, you are considered an enchufado [a government insider]. But if you close your factory, you are someone against the [government] process.” —Mauro Libi Crestani |salign = right |source = The Financial Times[2] }} Libi has been accused of corruption and has been investigated by several government bodies. He was exonerated by the Venezuela National Assembly, the country's legislative branch, in late 2016. The original complaint had been filed by the ruling party Chavista group.[2]Allegations against LibiWhen asked, Libi told The Financial Times in July 2017 that the allegations against him were false and that they were an attempted smear campaign,[2] to which the newspaper agreed to the possibility that Libi was telling the truth: "[the allegations] are perhaps inevitable given the public rage over the rampant state-sanctioned corruption that explains many of Venezuela's problems today."[2] Against the backdrop of the system of corruption within Venezuela, Libi has become a target for corruption allegations. An online campaign called "Escrache" has attempted to prove corruption charges against Libi and a host of other successful business owners.[2] In August 2016, the Audit Commission, a body within the Venezuela National Assembly, investigated Libi's business activities based on a "dossier compiled by Socialist Tide, a splinter chavista group." On October 5, 2016, Libi appeared before the commission to defend himself. By December 7, the commission closed its investigation.
Table source:[2] Libi kept factories open during massive food shortageWhile other factory owners shut down during the Crisis in Venezuela (2012–present), Libi stayed open. He kept his factories running and the employees working. Libi is not a government official. Rather, he is a private citizen who holds ownership or partial ownership of a number of companies. Many of those companies do significant business with the federal government of Venezuela because of the way the country's economy works. He owns companies in the food industry that have received large government contracts whereby the government buys the product in very large quantities. The contracts bring the food to the government, which then goes to supply Venezuelans with oat products. Venezuela is no different than other nations: it buys goods and services that the government is not able to do or produce. Additionally, in Venezuela, there is not enough cash to import enough food products, including oats (the key product in Libi's companies' products). While the country's economic conditions and serious malnutrition and foot shortage issues as of early August 2017 were deteriorating rapidly, and many factory owners--many of whom are successful and wealthy--have fled the nation, Libi chose to stay. In a country that does not produce many economic winners, Libi stands out. As The Financial Times put it: "Mr Libi remains upbeat. He gives parties in Miami. His oatmeal business has pummeled the famous Quaker oats brand made locally to win a 65 per cent market share. He even claims to be exporting oatmeal to the US."[2] PhilanthropyIn 2008, Crestani launched a foundation to help kids "in response to an influx of children living on the streets of Vargas." The foundation, the Casa Hogar Foundation, pays for housing, school, and medical care. Since its founding, it has served 146 children.[1] The background for the need for the foundation lies in a 1999 mudslide known as the "Vargas tragedy." According to Latin Business Daily, "Vargas suffered what many believe was Venezuela’s worst natural disaster in 1999, when a mudslide killed an estimated 10,000 to 30,000 there. The community never recovered economically."[1] Additionally, Libi began to sponsors a cycling team in 2016. The team, which competes in both amateur and professional events, through an official sponsorship by Avelina, a product made by his company Inproceca. He began sponsoring the team in 2016.[8] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=http://latinbusinessdaily.com/stories/511126167-crestani-s-casa-hogar-foundation-celebrates-ninth-year-in-venezuela|title=Crestani’s Casa Hogar Foundation celebrates ninth year in Venezuela|last=|first=|date=2017-06-11|work=Latin Business Daily|access-date=2017-06-12|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|language=en}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 {{Cite web|url=https://www.ft.com/content/25055a2a-6332-11e7-91a7-502f7ee26895?mhq5j=e1|title=How Venezuela’s ‘Bolivarian bourgeoisie’ profits from crisis|last=Rathbone|first=John Paul|date=2017-07-13|website=The Financial Times|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|subscription=yes|access-date=2017-08-10}} 3. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://casahogaralfin.org/mauro-libi-crestani/|title=Mauro Libi Crestani {{!}} Fundación Casa Hogar Al Fin|date=2017-06-06|work=Fundación Casa Hogar Al Fin|access-date=2017-06-13|language=es-ES}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://avelina.com/|title=Avelina®|website=Avelina®|language=es-VE|access-date=2017-06-12}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://avelina.com/quienes-somos/|title=Quiénes somos {{!}} Avelina®|website=Avelina®|language=es-VE|access-date=2017-06-12}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.eluniversal.com/economia/120318/inproceca-inauguro-fabrica-procesadora-de-avena-en-guatire|title=Inproceca inauguró fábrica procesadora de avena en Guatire - Economía - EL UNIVERSAL|last=|first=|date=2012-03-18|website=www.eluniversal.com|language=es|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2017-06-13}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=http://avelina.com/mauro-libi-crestani-biography/|title=Mauro Libi Crestani Biography|last=|first=|date=|website=|language=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2017-06-13}} 8. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.mauro-libi.com/team-avelina-distrito-capital-se-prepara-para-el-reto-al-junquito-2017/|title=Team Avelina Distrito Capital se prepara para el reto al Junquito 2017|last=|first=|date=|website=|language=es-ES|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2017-08-10}} External links
