Mariano Otero (ES)
Mariano Otero is at the forefront of redefining how audiences discover and engage with live experiences. As SVP of Global Expansion and Business Development at Fever—now united with DICE to form the world’s most influential independent music and live entertainment tech group—Mariano leads global strategy across more than 40 countries.
Under his leadership, Fever has scaled into the world’s leading live entertainment platform, transforming ticketing from a transactional process into a discovery-first, fan-centric journey. Fever supports a broad ecosystem of experiences—from stadium tours and IP-led immersive activations to cultural institutions and local nightlife—by combining deep audience insights with cutting-edge operational technology.
Fever enables events in a unique way. Candlelight, for example, became a global phenomenon and the largest franchise of live classical music concerts, reaching over 8 million spectators annually across 600+ cities. In 2025, Fever produced Grace for the World, the first-ever concert at the Vatican. It was streamed worldwide and paired world-class artists with a 3,000-drone spectacle for 200,000 attendees. This momentum is driven by Fever’s Secret Media Network, the largest global media platform for live experiences, which enables demand generation at scale.
