Jose Angel Pereira is one of the members of the CITGO6, a group of Americans wrongfully detained and held captive in Venezuela. He was held for 1,775 days, from November 21, 2017, to October 1, 2022. His only crime is that he is an American. Before the Venezuelan regime took Mr. Pereira, hostage, he spent 35 Years of Experience as an Oil Company Executive. He was formerly Citgo Petroleum's CEO (a US-based Refineries Complex and Broad Gas Station Distribution Center across the United States). 

Since returning on October 1, 2022, after being illegally and wrongfully detained for nearly five years, he has focused on reconnecting with his family while writing his memoir. He advocates for other Americans wrongfully detained as hostages abroad and uses his voice to help change US policy on dealing with hostages and those wrongfully detained. Mr. Pereira will continue to leverage his international experiences as a point of reference to empower others in making positive changes in the world. His motto is never to give up and never lose Faith. You can find out more about Jose by clicking https;//www.joseconnect.com
