Ariel Fernandez is an international relations expert, strategist, advisor, and civic leader with more than 27 years of experience helping clients navigate the complex intersection of government, business, media, and community. As President of The American Strategies Group, the strategic advisory firm he founded in 2013, Ariel has built a reputation for delivering results at every level of government: local, state, national, and international.

Ariel’s career began in the halls of the U.S. House of Representatives, where he spent more than a decade serving the residents of South Florida. During his thirteen years of service, Ariel developed a deep, working knowledge of how the federal government operates. He advised on policy and legislative issues, directed district operations, managed constituent services, coordinated with federal agencies, and served as a trusted liaison between elected officials and the communities they represent.

That foundation, thirteen years inside congressional offices, learning how decisions are made and how to move them, informs every engagement Ariel takes on today.
