Juan Pablo Neira biography
Magic speaker Juan Pablo Neira is one of Latin America’s most recognized voices on creativity, leadership, and the art of inspiring change. A creative by trade and an illusionist at heart, he blends decades of corporate experience with the craft of magic to deliver keynotes that feel like nothing else on the stage. He has performed and spoken in more than 30 countries for over 500 clients including Coca-Cola, Pfizer, Citibank, SAB Miller, P&G, Johnson & Johnson, ExxonMobil, WOBI, and Nestlé.
Trained as a publicist and event producer at George Washington University, Juan Pablo went on to found LIVE, one of the most prestigious special-events companies in Latin America. He also created Expomarketing, one of the region’s most influential marketing platforms, and founded the publications Marketing News and Punto de Evento. That entrepreneurial track shaped how he thinks about creativity: not as a soft skill, but as the engine behind every meaningful organizational result.
Author, Entrepreneur, and Stage Performer
He is the author of two bestsellers. Imagine: Creer para crear argues that the willingness to believe in what does not yet exist is the source of every creative breakthrough, while Las Grandes Marcas en Colombia documents 100 of the country’s most iconic brands and the people behind them. Through his work as a speaker and author, he has built a body of ideas focused on how imagination, faith, and discipline combine to drive transformation.
His keynotes sit at the intersection of motivation, creativity, and leadership, and are designed for organizations facing rapid change. He is known for a dynamic, theatrical style that uses live magic to anchor strategic ideas in moments audiences never forget, leaving them with both an emotional charge and a concrete shift in how they think about their work.
As a speaker, Juan Pablo Neira does more than entertain. He challenges teams to reclaim their capacity to imagine, to act on those images with conviction, and to lead through change with the same precision and presence that magic demands of its practitioner.
