In the dynamic landscape of Ecuadorian politics, the appointment of Andrés Guschmer Tamariz as the Minister of Sport by President-elect Daniel Noboa Azin marks a significant development.
At 45 years old, hailing from Guayaquil, married, and a father of five, Guschmer’s background is diverse. A distinguished sports journalist, producer, commentator, and interviewer, he holds a degree in Social Communication. His commitment to continuous growth is evident through his participation in a leadership program at Georgetown University in 2009.
Currently, Guschmer wears multiple hats, serving as the host of the program “El Buscador en Red” and as a football commentator on Teleamazonas since 2022. His involvement extends to the management of an events company specializing in artistic, cultural, and sports organization.

Recognized as a multifaceted individual, Guschmer’s proficiency in various sports, including his passion for golf, adds a distinctive layer to his persona. I’ve personally experienced, during our shared moments on the golf course, that Guschmer’s dedication to sports goes beyond the professional realm. It reflects a genuine passion for the game and a commitment to nurturing a comprehensive sporting culture in Ecuador. As he takes the reins of the Ministry of Sport, his diverse experiences position him as a dynamic force ready to make a lasting impact on Ecuador’s sports landscape.
Beyond the realm of media and sports, Guschmer has delved into politics. In 2019, he served as a councilor for the municipality of Guayaquil in District 3, chairing the Commission on Sports and the Environment. His political aspirations culminated in a candidacy for the prefecture of Guayas in the 2023 sectional elections under the banner of the Renovación Total (RETO) movement, securing an impressive 245,000 votes, making him the third most voted candidate.
Guschmer’s contributions also extend into the realm of social responsibility. He has actively engaged with various charitable organizations, serving as an Ambassador for the NGO “Ecuador dice No Más,” as well as being a Sponsor for the Ronald McDonald Foundation, Fasinarm Foundation, Asonic Foundation, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
As Ecuador’s sporting landscape undergoes a transformation with Guschmer at the helm of the Ministry of Sport, his diverse experiences, encompassing media, sports, politics, and social initiatives, position him as a dynamic figure poised to make a meaningful impact on the nation’s sports and beyond.
