Ariel’s career began in the halls of the U.S. House of Representatives, where he spent more than a decade serving the residents of South Florida. During his thirteen years of service, Ariel developed a deep, working knowledge of how the federal government operates. He advised on policy and legislative issues, directed district operations, managed constituent services, coordinated with federal agencies, and served as a trusted liaison between elected officials and the communities they represent.

That foundation, thirteen years inside congressional offices, learning how decisions are made and how to move them, informs every engagement Ariel takes on today.

Since 2023, he has served as City Commissioner in Coral Gables, Florida.
