She was also executive secretary of the founder of OPEC, the Venezuelan Juan Pablo Pérez Alfonso. He has a sister, Jehanny Rendón Delgado. Before starting his career in an advertising agency in his early 20s, Rendón studied psychology at Andrés Bello Catholic University and Central University of Venezuela. He obtained a postgraduate degree in Ontopsychology from the Associazione Internazionale, an Italian institution founded by Antonio Meneghetti. He also obtained degrees in Psychology of Mass Communication, Strategic Planning, and Publicity and Marketing Management. Career Entry into politics At the age of 24, Rendón volunteered for Carlos Andrés Pérez's second presidential run, where he met and assisted the American political consultant Joseph Napolitan. He became the creator of a campaign to stimulate the youth vote through a movement known as "La Venezuela 2000", which was transcendental for the presidential triumph. Rendón founded an advertising company, Chiripa Publicidad, in Caracas, Venezuela. One of his first clients was the former Venezuelan president Rafael Caldera (1916–2009), who was re-elected for a second term in 1993. That year, he was hired as creative vice-president of the agency "Chiripa publicidad" which managed the presidential campaign of the then candidate Rafael Caldera, known as the "chiripero" campaign, in allusion to the new party formed by Caldera, Convergencia. The party was nourished by independents and dissidents (chiripas) of the two big traditional political parties, Acción Democrática and Copei. In 1998, he was the strategist of the senatorial campaign of former president Carlos Andrés Pérez who, facing a trial for embezzlement, became the first candidate to win while in prison. Politics 2000 In the early 2000s, Rendón worked with various political organisations, such as the Mexican Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and Social Party of National Unity. In 2000, his career became international. In August of the same year, one month after the defeat of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which for 71 years had won all the presidential elections, he traveled to Mexico and became the party's strategist, taking charge of most of its campaigns throughout the country. For more than a decade he was in charge of the campaigns of governors, mayors, congressmen, and presidential candidates. In 2001 he ran a campaign that overcame negative indicators in the gubernatorial election held in Tabasco, and in the campaigns of Sinaloa and Veracruz, also with wins. 2004 Rendón was the political advisor for Hipólito Mejía, the candidate of the Dominican Revolutionary party, during his successful presidential campaign in 2004. 2005 In 2005, he advised the founding process of the New Alliance Party. That same year, 2005, he was in charge of developing the launching campaign of the National Unity Party, the Partido de la U, which emerged as a movement to support the reelection of Álvaro Uribe in 2006. The campaign challenged the traditional way of doing propaganda and advertising in Colombia. Uribe won reelection with a new party that broke 156 years of bipartisanship. When Juan Manuel Santos was appointed Minister of Defense in Colombia during the presidency of Álvaro Uribe Vélez in 2006, J.J. Rendón became the ministry's chief strategist. During this time, there were notable military operations to rescue FARC hostages, including Operation Jaque on July 2, 2008, which resulted in the rescue of presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt, two U.S. contractors, and several police and army officers held by the guerrillas for more than six years. 2008 JJ Rendón was accused on various social media platforms of being behind the "historical fantasy" of the rescue by the Colombian government (former president Álvaro Uribe Vélez) of Emmanuel (a child that was captured and held hostage) and that the child was living in Bogotá, which ended up being true. Soon after, it was proven via DNA testing that the child was Emmanuel. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolás Maduro questioned the results of the DNA testing, stating that Colombia did not allow Venezuelan specialists to conduct their own tests and had created a "cloak of doubt". However, in January 2008, FARC rebels released a communiqué in which they admitted that Emmanuel "is the same three-year-old who was living in foster care in Bogotá, Colombia, who was due to be part of hostage deal." The child was the son of Clara Rojas, Ingrid Betancourt's presidential running mate, both kidnapped by FARC rebels. The child was born in captivity during the kidnapping. In this case, then-Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez Frías and Senator Piedad Córdova were intermediaries with the FARC. They insisted that they would free the child Emmanuel and the rest of the hostages. But the rescue was finally made with the help of the military forces. 2009 In 2009, the governor of the state of Veracruz, Fidel Herrera, made Rendón handle the crisis in the state after the media claimed that the origin of the world epidemic of influenza AH1N1 was in La Gloria, a cattle-raising town on the co....
