He then moved to New York City in the United States, where he received an MBA from Columbia Business School in 1978.
Upon his return from the United States, Verano started a career as a business administrator, combined with his militancy in the Colombian Liberal Party. Between 1978 and 1984 Verano was appointed manager of Cementos del Caribe, a Colombian cement company. In 1984 he was appointed general manager of the Empresa Municipal de Teléfonos de Barranquilla, the local state owned telephone company of Barranquilla.

In December 1990, representing the Colombian Liberal Party under the support of Horacio Serpa, Verano ran for a seat in the Constituent Assembly of Colombia and was elected. The Constituent Assembly drafted and approved the Colombian Constitution of 1991.
During the mandate of President César Gaviria, Verano was appointed Director of the National Institute of Radio and Television, INRAVISION (Instituto Nacional de Radio y Televisión) in 1992. Between 1992 and 1994 Verano served as general manager of the Corporación Eléctrica de la Costa, Corelca, the electric company that controlled the energy in most of the Caribbean Region of Colombia.
