Top South Florida-based public affairs firm EDGE Communications is promoting David Cruz Ramos to Chief of Staff.
Cruz Ramos is fresh off a win as Campaign Manager for newly elected Miami Commissioner Rolando Escalona. EDGE said his elevation reflects his expanding role across campaign strategy, client engagement and firmwide coordination.
“David is the kind of leader every candidate hopes for: steady, strategic, and relentless in his pursuit of excellence,” Escalona said in a news release. “We both came to this country from Cuba with a dream, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner to help bring our message of hope and integrity to the City of Miami.”
EDGE Founder and CEO Christian Ulvert added, “David has earned this promotion with his unwavering dedication and sharp political instincts. He leads by example and with heart — and in this new role, he will help guide the firm’s continued growth and impact.”
Since joining EDGE in 2023, Cruz Ramos has played a central role in several high-profile South Florida campaigns. Most notably, he managed Escalona’s successful run, helping elect a first-time candidate who immigrated from Cuba and rose from restaurant busboy to community leader.
He also made key contributions across EDGE’s 2025 portfolio. The firm helped secure wins for new Miami Mayor Eileen Higgins and Miami Beach Commissioner Monica Matteo-Salinas, as well as the re-elections of Miami Commissioners Laura Dominguez and Alex Fernandez.
Born in Cuba and raised in the U.S., Cruz Ramos previously served as EDGE’s Communications Special Projects Coordinator, where he worked on strategic messaging and outreach initiatives. He is currently pursuing a degree in international relations at Florida International University.
“I’m grateful to work alongside such passionate colleagues and mission-driven clients,” he said. “EDGE does so much more than run campaigns — our team builds trust, elevates voices, and delivers results that matter. I’m proud to continue that work in this next chapter.”
