Attorney Rosanna “Ro” Manuela Catalano is joining Capitol Access, a government relations firm in Tallahassee.
“We are excited about this new relationship,” said Jerry Paul, founder and managing member of the firm. “Ro’s experience, professionalism, and high-energy personality are a perfect fit for Capitol Access and the clients we serve.”
Catalano has been executive director and chief administrative officer for the Florida Elections Commission, according to a press release.
She also was assistant general counsel at the Department of Health and the Agency for Health Care Administration.
Before that, she was an assistant attorney general, working with professional licensing boards such as the Florida Board of Medicine, Florida Board of Nursing, Florida Board of Dentistry, Florida Electrical Contractors Licensing Board, and Florida Board of Landscape Architects.
“I will be combining my past experience from multiple areas of government and academia in ways that now allow me to guide private stakeholders through the halls of the Legislature and executive branch,” Catalano said.
“This new relationship allows me to provide government relations in conjunction with people like Jerry who have developed a reputation and style that is effective and well-synchronized with people who need help in the Capitol.”
She got her undergraduate degree and law degree from the University of Florida.
