Osmel Ricardo Sousa Mansilla (born 26 September 1946) is a Cuban-Venezuelan beauty pageant entrepreneur, gurú and the former president of the Miss Venezuela Organization.
Prominently known for his excellence in both pageantry and advertising, Sousa has been called "The Tsar of Beauty" or Impresario for his significant role in producing Venezuela's large number of beauty queens.
On 8 February 2018, Sousa announced his public intention to retire from the position and was ultimately succeeded by Gabriela Isler as national director for Venezuela.
Osmel Sousa was born in Rodas, a town in the province of Cienfuegos in Cuba. When he was thirteen, his family sent him to live with his grandmother in Maracaibo, Venezuela. After high school he studied with Horacio Peterson's acting company with Lupita Ferrer, Miguel Ángel Landa and Luis Abreu, but quickly realized that he was not cut out to be an actor. He then briefly held jobs as an advertising draftsman and art designer for the two large television networks in Venezuela, the state owned VTV and the cable network RCTV.
