What Intersect Public Affairs does

Intersect Public Affairs is a Washington, D.C.-based government affairs, lobbying, public relations, and community engagement firm founded in October 2024. The firm operates as a privately held LLC with a five-person core team led by CEO Estuardo Rodriguez, formerly of the Raben Group, alongside COO Elizabeth Rodriguez and Director Diana M. Fernández, supported by additional associates.

The company delivers advisory and advocacy services to a client roster that includes large enterprises — T-Mobile, Charter Communications, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Avangrid — alongside nonprofit organizations. Service offerings span legislative and regulatory advocacy, strategic communications, and stakeholder/community engagement, with an explicit international corridor covering Spain, Mexico, and broader Latin America. Delivery is augmented by a strategic partner network that includes Haro Solutions, Operativo.us, MOSAICO, and MatchPoint Strategies, enabling the firm to extend capacity and geographic reach beyond its internal headcount.

The business model is professional services fee-based, operating on retainers and project engagements typical of boutique lobbying and public affairs firms. The firm holds MBE certification from NMSDC, positioning it for corporate and public-sector supplier diversity procurement. There is no disclosed technology platform, proprietary tooling, or funded scale-up; revenue, contract terms, and headcount growth trajectory are not publicly disclosed, and the firm is too recently formed to demonstrate renewal cycles.
