DMC Los Cabos

Marla GUADIAN was born in Cancun, Quintana Roo. She has a degree in International Business Administration (BBA). After finishing college, she moved to Chicago as an au pair in order to polish her English.

She is friendly by nature and this gave her the opportunity to meet very interesting and lovely people from different countries. During this time, she studied Creative Business, Photography, and Event Planning. At the end of the latter, she found one of her strongest passions, the M&E niche. She joined the IVI DMC Dynasty eight years ago as aJunior Event Operator in Cancun and Riviera Maya.

This job showed her how everything works, from planning to the time the group is on site. A few months later and due to her skills and enthusiasm, she was promoted as a Program Executive, then she welcomed the opportunity to move to Los Cabos as Business & Planning Manager. She has been living in Los Cabos for six years and now she is our Destination Managing Director in this beautiful destination.

She is the kind of person who likes exploring her new surroundings, so when she visits a new place she makes sure she visits all the emblematic sites.

Restaurant: Floras Farm because they offer the best organic food in town and Manta at the Cape Hotel, which offers a mixture of Mexican, Peruvian, and Asian food while having a breathtaking view of the Arch—simply the best!

Local Event: La Fiesta in San Jose del Cabo that takes place downtown. As you walk by, you will find a different type of music on almost each corner, delicious food, and the best draft beer!

A proud father of two beautiful young girls and Monterrey native, Joaquin studied Computer Science which made it easier for him to be part of the hospitality industry in his early days. He's then been able to grow in the operational and administrative areas hand in hand with the company leaders who provided him with knowledge throughout his journey.

He joined IVI DMC in two stages, first from January 2020 to February 2021 as part of the Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Nayarit team, and in this second stage, from the end of October 2021 to the present time. He now has the opportunity to be part of the great IVI DMC Los Cabos team where he currently resides and which he continues to be grateful for as it has welcomed him with open arms.
