Background

About Alian Collazo

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in governmental affairs, foreign relations, commercial strategy, grassroots advocacy, and community empowerment. Over the years, I have honed my skills in strategic planning, policy development, market leadership, and media management, driving impactful initiatives across sectors including nonprofit, legislative, political, and now, commercial real estate. In my current role as Chief Executive of Commercial for the Miami Association of Realtors, I lead efforts to position Miami’s commercial real estate community as the global leader in innovation, competitiveness, and market growth. By fostering collaboration, driving economic development, and delivering value to industry professionals, I work to ensure Miami remains a premier hub for investment and opportunity. My passion and academic foundation lie in foreign affairs, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations with a certificate in Eurasian Studies. This expertise fuels my work in advocacy, policy, and fostering international partnerships. I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Public Administration with a certificate in Emergency Management and National Security, further aligning my education with my commitment to addressing complex global and domestic challenges. Additionally, I serve as Executive Director of Cuban Freedom March, advocating for democracy and freedom in Cuba through strategic planning, grassroots organizing, and governmental relations. My work in this space reflects my broader dedication to advancing human rights and promoting democracy worldwide. Previous roles, including Chief of Staff for Florida State Senator Alexis Calatayud, have deepened my expertise in the legislative process, campaign management, and effective communication strategies. My career has also included running for political office, managing campaigns, leading volunteer teams, fundraising, and mobilizing communities around critical policy issues. Whether advancing commercial development, shaping foreign policy, or building coalitions, my focus is always on creating meaningful change through collaboration and innovative problem-solving. I am passionate about empowering communities, driving political engagement, and fostering global partnerships that promote growth, security, and transformation.
