WASHINGTON - January 20, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

The United States Hispanic Business Council (USHBC) announced today the appointment of Cristina Antelo, founder of Ferox Strategies, to its Board of Directors as Legislative Co-Chair. 

With 18 years of legislative and advocacy experience, Antelo represents multinational corporations through Washington, D.C.-based lobbying firm Ferox Strategies, which she founded. Antelo began her lobbying career in 2004, representing Fortune 500 clients at top-ranked, bipartisan government and public affairs firms.

Today Ferox Strategies counts among its clients a variety of global corporations including Diageo, Walmart, Eli Lilly, Waste Management, Intuit, Gap Inc., and The Walt Disney Company, to name a few. 

Throughout her career, Antelo has served as both a leader and an advocate, promoting communication, ethics, education, and bipartisanship. She is a founding member and former president of the Hispanic Lobbyists Association (HLA) and served as the interim CEO of the non-profit Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI). Currently, she serves on the finance committee for the National Multiple Sclerosis Ambassador's Ball and has raised over $2 million to fund research and program services nationwide. Additionally, Cristina is on the Board of Directors for her alma mater, the Brooks School in North Andover, Massachusetts, and serves as a Director for G Squared Ascend II, Inc.

We are extremely fortunate to have her in our corner." 

"America's diverse and vibrant Hispanic business community deserves a powerful, unapologetic and influential voice in Washington to speak to the unique issues that affect our entrepreneurs. In the USHBC, the community now has a strong and aggressive voice willing to do just that," said Antelo.
