A left-handed player, Venero represented the Peru Davis Cup team between 1995 and 2000, winning seven singles and five doubles rubbers.[1] He won the deciding fifth rubber in the 1999 American Zone Group II final, over Mexico's Luis Herrera, to give Peru promotion.
Venero was the 1990 South American Games singles champion and won a bronze medal at the 1991 Pan American Games, partnering Patrick Baumeler in the men's doubles competition.[2] This was Peru's first ever Pan American Games medal for tennis.[3]
