As Head of Production for NEP Spain, Mestre brings over 20 years of experience in the video production industry, working in a variety of projects and formats. He began his career in broadcast production at Endemol Spain, where he became a member of the team directing quiz and music reality shows like Operación Triunfo. Later, he joined EuroLeague Basketball as production supervisor and partnership manager, and then Red Bull Media House as broadcast production manager. While at Red Bull, Mestre worked on large events like the Primavera Sound Festival, Dakar Rally and RB Batalla de Gallos international finals, as well as eGames events including the 2018 FIFA Ultimate Team Championship Final in Barcelona.
