Gio Gutierrez, Mixologist

Cuban-born and Miami-bred, Giovanny Gutierrez brings over a decade of hospitality experience to the table in his role as U.S. Havana Club Ambassador. A bona fide lover of rum, Gio first joined the Bacardi Team in 2013 as Florida ambassador for its high-end, award-winning Facundo Rum collection. From developing and executing trainings to fostering brand advocacy within the South Florida community, Gio satiates his insatiable thirst through educating and inspiring those around him by creating unforgettable spirited experiences with anyone that luckily crosses his path. While he lives and breathes Miami, you will typically find him traveling the country—hosting events and seminars, guest bartending anywhere where they'll let him shake up a daiquiri, and representing all things Cuba.
