Putting the Right People Together

For over 25 years, we've served as trusted partners to companies doing meaningful work across Los Angeles.


From Fortune 500 tech firms to innovative infrastructure teams laying the groundwork for the Los Angeles’ future. 

We've walked the halls of City Hall. Sat through late-night budget hearings. Stepped onto job sites where billion-dollar projects were breaking ground—and behind the scenes where real decisions take shape.

We get to be part of what gets built here.

The subway lines. The housing programs. The digital infrastructure that makes Los Angeles run better.

We don't chase headlines. We help shape what comes next.

"Ron has the kind of access you can't buy and relationships you can't fake. When he walks into City Hall, people genuinely light up to see him. That warmth and respect opens doors that would stay closed for anyone else."

— Ruben Zaragoza, State and Local Affairs Director

Patricia Aleman, Director of Strategic Government Affairs

Patricia Aleman

DIRECTOR

Patricia brings over a decade of government affairs experience, including 10+ years in San Francisco's political landscape before joining SGA. She's the team's intelligence hub—monitoring policy shifts, tracking procurement pipelines, and flagging opportunities long before they're public.

Her research briefings keep clients ahead of the curve, and her strategic insights help shape approach and timing. Patricia's eye for detail and ability to synthesize complex information into actionable intelligence is what keeps SGA's clients positioned early and informed always.

Together, we help our clients turn relationships into results.

"They truly become part of your team. Ron and Patricia understand our business as well as we do and represent us with the same professionalism we'd expect from our own employees. After 12 years working together, I can't imagine navigating LA without them."

— Mike Aparicio, Executive Vice President
Skanska USA Civil Inc.

We Believe…

…that the right relationships, held with integrity, can accelerate impact. And that showing up early, respectfully, and consistently is still the most powerful strategy in the room.
