Meet Mariana Gordillo, our much-loved Events Coordinator at Callao.
Originally hailing from Colombia and now based in Sydney, Mariana’s path into hospitality is grounded in energy, connection, and people.
“Since moving to Sydney, hospitality has become a huge part of my life and my main career path.”
For her, the industry is alive: built on interaction shared experience.
“I love the energy of the industry, meeting new people, creating experiences, and being part of environments that bring people together.”
Before Australia, her career spanned hospitality and IT recruitment across Colombia and the UK, shaping both confidence and communication through working with people from vastly different backgrounds.
“This helped me develop strong communication skills and confidence working with people from different cultures.”
Outside the venue, Mariana is driven by curiosity and expression. Travel, food, music, fitness, and the simple pull of the ocean at sunset.
“Outside of work, I’m very social and creative.”
“Family is also a huge part of who I am, and one of my biggest motivations is building a future that allows me to keep growing professionally while staying connected to the people I love.”
In every shift, every service, every event, she brings the same intention forward.
“I’m someone who genuinely enjoys making people feel welcome, bringing positive energy into a room, and always being open to new experiences and opportunities.”
