When your business strategy can't be separated from government — contracts, permits, regulatory environment, public funding — you need an advisor who understands both worlds at once. Generic strategy consultants don't understand government. Pure lobbying firms don't do strategy and financial modeling. We do both, integrated.
Companies whose growth, contracts, or funding depends materially on government interaction
Technology and infrastructure companies entering regulated markets
Companies preparing capital raises where the narrative requires government and regulatory positioning
Existing V&A government relations clients who need underlying strategic and financial work
Companies pursuing market entry where regulatory and political feasibility shape the business case
Strategic Advisory engagements are typically project-based or retainer-based, depending on the work. We deliver business plans, financial models with multi-year forecasts, capital raise narratives, market entry analyses, and integrated strategy work that combines the business and government dimensions.
Clients work directly with Ramon, who brings an MBA and direct CEO, CFO, and COO experience from multiple startups in addition to his government background. For projects requiring deep corporate government affairs perspective, Michael's Fortune 500 experience is integrated.
Ramon has actually written business plans with extensive 10-year financials. He has actually been a CEO. He has actually managed a balance sheet as a CFO. He has actually run operations as a COO. Combined with 37 years of government experience and an MBA, that operator background means the strategic work V&A produces is grounded in what actually happens when business plans meet reality — and what specifically happens when government is part of that reality.
Government relations, public affairs, and strategic advisory.
