BIOGRAPHY

Edward De Valle President and CEO of AMGW Agency Born on April 21, 1975 in Miami, Florida, Edward de Valle II is the first of two children of Edward de Valle and Maria Christina Noya. Birthed with a will to strive for excellence and high expectations from a family of educators, Edwards organization and commitment to who and what he wanted in life has brought him to where he is today. Edwards father was a builder and real estate developer in the state of Florida. His mother, Christina, is a dedicated director and principal of education. His great-great grandfather, Alfredo de Zayas y Alfonso, was the 4th President of Cuba. His great grandfather was the owner of one of the largest newspapers in Cuba, El Avance, and his grandfather, from Spain, was a businessowner. Edward has exceeded both socially and academically, rising to be a star and student leader by the time he graduated from Coral Gables Senior High in Miami, Florida. He was an energetic and bright child, taking after his parents and grandparents. Business was his main focus. He has always been in the pursuit for excellence and is extremely perseverant just likes myself, his mother explains. His formal education includes a B.S. in Business Management, M.B.A. in Business Professional Management, and three years of completed doctoral work in the science of organizational behavior. Being strongly influenced by his families careers and passions led Edward to his calling in the media world with goals just as grand as his past lineage history. After graduating college, his career began at GE as the Marketing Manager for GE Power Systems Latin America. At GE Power Systems Latin America, he completed a black belt level within the six-sigma training program created by President and CEO Jack Welsh. He then transitioned to Director of Sales for group publisher IPG; which licensed Newsweek, Vogue, Glamour, Discover, Mens Fitness, Prevention, Teen, & Architectural Digest US Hispanic/ Latin America. From that experience emerged AMGW AGENCY, a full-service communications and consulting agency. Edward established the agency in 2001 with the purpose of adding something truly unique to the business world. His global perspective contributed to his desire of providing original marketing strategies to real estate developers, hoteliers and luxury brands on a worldwide scale. He realized his strategies were not only desired but also necessary and began positioning AMGW AGENCY among the few agencies servicing these business arenas at the time. Recently Edward De Valle was awarded Business Leader Award for Top 300 Business in the Southern United States and Top Innovator of South Florida by the Sun Post. Convinced of the economic opportunity in the merging markets, he recently opened and partnered with offices in Brazil and Dominican Republic. www.EdwardDeValle.com www.AMGWagency.com
