We are excited to welcome Gustavo “Gus” Portela to the NPRCC Board of Directors. Gus brings over a decade of expertise in communications, public affairs, and strategic messaging, having worked with ambassadors, legislators, a U.S. Governor, and one of the nation’s top city governments. His leadership spans municipal government, national advocacy campaigns, and policy work in Washington, D.C., with a focus on issues that matter to the Puerto Rican community.

A proud Puerto Rico native raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Gus now lives in San Diego with his wife and son. We look forward to his leadership and the impact he will make as we continue our mission to empower Puerto Rican businesses and professionals across the United States and Puerto Rico.
