Jacqui Carmona
Founder & President, Carmona Advisors
Jacqui Carmona, founder and president of Carmona Advisors, is a distinguished government relations strategist with over 15 years of experience navigating the complex political landscapes at local, state, and federal levels. Her expertise spans diverse sectors including transportation, development, labor, environmental and resiliency initiatives, hospitality, and government procurement.
Driven to establish a women-led boutique firm with a Miami-centric focus, Carmona combines sophisticated strategic approaches with grassroots advocacy and campaign tactics to deliver exceptional results. This distinctive methodology has secured significant victories across industries, including expanded workforce housing projects in South Florida, innovative transportation solutions, and successful navigation of rigorous procurement processes.
On the international stage, Carmona represents the State of Qatar through its Embassy in the United States, providing strategic counsel on public affairs opportunities and challenges in Florida and Washington, D.C. Her thought leadership in transportation is exemplified by her collaboration with then Chairman Oliver Gilbert to establish Miami-Dade’s first Urban Air Mobility Task Force, and by chairing the successful 2018 Broward County Surtax campaign.
Working closely with the Miccosukee Tribe of Florida, Carmona advocates for Everglades protection, clean water initiatives, and responsible development practices. Her transportation expertise extends to Miami Dade’s Rapid Transit Zone, various Transit-Oriented Development projects, micro and first/last mile mobility solutions, and Miami-Dade County’s commuter rail initiatives on behalf of Brightline.
Carmona’s development portfolio includes major hospitality ventures, housing, and mixed-use projects with Terra Group, and the proposed Sports Performance Hub of South Dade, creating a multi-jurisdictional sports stadium and training facility. Recently, she partnered with Loud & Live to bring Wodapalooza, the world’s largest fitness festival, to Miami Beach.
