Ambassador Pete Romero is CEO of Experior Advisory, a consulting firm started in 2003 to provide business and political advice to multinational companies and international groups regarding foreign operations, cross-border transactions, and proposals for bids.  His client list runs the gamut from infrastructure to international banking. 

Romero’s consulting practice—a combination of business, health care, and labor work—builds on his 24 years as a career diplomat.  Until 2001, when he left the State Department as Assistant Secretary for the Western Hemisphere Bureau, he served in various diplomatic and State Department posts including chief of mission in El Salvador and U.S. Ambassador in Ecuador.  He continues to be quoted as an expert on international affairs.  After leaving the State Department, Romero led a joint venture between Violy, Byorum and Partners and the Rothschild for mergers, acquisitions, and private equity.

In addition to his extensive diplomatic background, Romero currently teaches at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and sits on the boards of for profit and nonprofit entities, whose operations span the globe, particularly Latin America and the Middle East.  He has served on the Special Olympics Board.

Romero earned a Bachelor’s degree in science and a Masters in international relations from Florida State University.
