Personnel note: Capital City Consulting adds Jose Espinoza to Miami team

Jose Espinoza is joining Capital City Consulting’s Miami office.

A seasoned government professional, Espinoza most recently served as chief policy advisor to Miami-Dade County Commissioner and immediate past Chairman of the County Commission Oliver Gilbert III, where he led the Commissioner’s legislative strategy and public policy initiatives.

“Jose was an invaluable member of my team and someone I trusted to carry the weight of complex issues and lead with integrity,” said Gilbert. “His judgment and dedication helped shape the work we did for the community, and I have no doubt he’ll be an asset to Capital City Consulting.”

In his new role at Capital City Consulting, Espinoza will bring his deep knowledge of local government and a proven track record in regional advocacy to support the firm’s growing roster of public and private-sector clients.

Over the past decade, Espinoza has held various roles in County government, including positions in the County’s budget office, where he managed the County’s $250 million social services portfolio, and in the County Mayor’s Office, where he served as the policy advisor to a Deputy Mayor.

“Jose has tremendous experience navigating the complexities of local government,” said Brian May, Managing Partner of Capital City Consulting Miami. “His deep policy and budget experience, coupled with an ability to build strong relationships, give him a unique skill set that will serve our clients well.”

“We welcome Jose to the firm and look forward to him assisting our clients’ growing needs in Miami-Dade,” said Ron LaFace who co-founded Capital City Consulting along with Nick Iarossi. “We are seeing our US and international clients establishing bigger presences in South Florida and Jose’s addition will complement and enhance the services we are providing.”

Espinoza’s addition reflects Capital City Consulting’s continued commitment to delivering impactful advocacy throughout South Florida. He is an alumnus of the Leadership Miami program and a two-time graduate of Florida International University, with a bachelor’s degree in public administration and a MBA.
