Ralph Patino has been the vanguard of Cuban-American policy reform for over a decade. As a member of the Council of the America’s Cuba working group, Mr. Patino has been a leading voice of progressive discussions with political, public, and key industry figures, in an effort to invigorate the future of U.S.-Cuba relations. Currently, Ralph Patino shares in joint efforts with the Engage Cuba Coalition—a bipartisan congressional committee at the forefront of the Cuban legislative reform effort. In addition, Mr. Patino works closely with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, U.S.-Cuba Business Council, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs—Cuba, Caribbean Policy Committee, and sits as a founding member of #CUBANOW.

Through all of Mr. Patino’s efforts, his immediate goals of U.S.-Cuba relations include creating a greater exchange between U.S. and Cuban civil society; embedding U.S. business in Cuba to create a better exchange of information and technology, with the ultimate goal of promoting a more progressive and less stringent relationship with Cuba.
