7 Strategies LLC, A Public Affairs And Business Development Firm, Debuts This Month

Dec. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Miami, FL (December 26, 2010) -- Two local Miami figures – City of Sweetwater Mayor Manny Maroño and Jorge Forte, former North Bay Village city manager, have formed 7 Strategies, LLC, a public affairs and business development firm.

7 Strategies LLC was named, by the principals, in tribute to Governor-Elect Rick Scott’s 7-step plan to create 700,000 jobs in 7 years. The principals of 7 Strategies believe this is the right approach for Florida, and look forward to assisting Florida businesses in their efforts to grow by providing strategic relation consulting skills to businesses in order to forge better ties to the public sector.

“Governor-Elect Scott is prepared to take bold steps to put Florida back on track. We are excited about doing our part.  As he often has said, ‘Let’s Get to Work,’” stated Mayor Maroño.  

“7 Strategies, LLC is based on a vision of combining substantive expertise in key policy areas with insights from experience and established relationships within the government decision-making process," added Forte.

In addition to serving his second term as Mayor of City of Sweetwater, Maroño is Second Vice President for the Florida League of Cities and is slated to be its President in 2012. Maroño is also a founding board member of the Florida League of Mayors.

Maroño was an early supporter of Governor-Elect Scott and is humbled to be part of Scott’s Transition Team, helping to ensure that a top-notch team of agency leaders and appointed officials are selected to the Scott administration. As such, Maroño will not directly represent clients before administrative agencies to ensure no conflicts of interest.  
Furthermore, as the current Mayor of Sweetwater, Maroño will not represent any clients in that jurisdiction.

The firm offers clients a well-rounded approach to public affairs and business development strategy, drawing upon years of experience in the government and business sectors in South Florida, Tallahassee, and Washington, DC.
