In 2016, Hawkers, one of the most promising modern sunglass companies, faced a new obstacle. Despite making high sales, the company was in financial problems as expenses soared. The company desperately needed external funding. At the same time, on the other side, Alejandro Betancourt Lopez needed a new exciting venture. Alejandro had never ventured into such a company, and the idea seemed very exciting. Alejandro did not let the opportunity slip away, and he and other investors injected 50 million Euros into Hawkers, an investment that turned around Hawkers.
Alejandro Betancourt Lopez, a Venezuelan tycoon, has carved a name for himself in the business world, especially in the energy sector. He is the founder and managing director at O’Hara Group, an asset management company with investments in Latin America and Africa. Alejandro was born in Caracas and pursued a double major in economics and business administration at Suffolk University.
