Humberto Calderón Berti (born 21 October 1941 in Boconó, Venezuela[1]) is a Venezuelan geologist, petroleum engineer, diplomat, politician and author, named in 2019 as ambassador to Colombia by disputed interim Venezuelan president Juan Guaidó during the 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis,[2][3] and welcomed by Carlos Holmes Trujillo, Colombia's foreign minister.[2]

Career

Calderón Berti is a former president of PDVSA (Venezuela's state-owned petroleum company), and the country's former Minister of Energy and Mines, as well as former Minister of Foreign Affairs.[3] He is also a former OPEC president.[4] His undergraduate degree was from the Central University of Venezuela, and he has a Master's in petroleum engineering from the University of Tulsa in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[3]

In 2003, he and other former PDVSA petroleum executives founded the Colombian company, Vetra Energia, S.L.[4] He solicited and was granted Spanish citizenship, where he has family and cultural ties, in 2018 because of persecution due to his membership in Venezuela's Social Christian political party (Copei).[5]

On 26 November 2019, Guaidó dismissed Calderón as ambassador in Colombia, citing plans to change foreign policy.[6] Venezuelan diplomat Diego Arria condemned the dismissal, calling it a "huge mistake".[7]

Berti is a member of the Madrid Forum.[8]
