About Antonio White

Trusted Advisor to Government Officials, CEOs & Philanthropists

Antonio White is founder of 480 Advisors and has over 15 years of public affairs experience. Previously, he was the chief of communications and external affairs at the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency, and a deputy assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, where he led stakeholder communications with business, local and nonprofit executives.  

However, Antonio’s true professional education began in his hometown of Cleveland, OH, where his maternal grandmother helped start a community church, while his paternal grandmother owned rental properties. Those lessons shaped his career, giving him the confidence to take on high-profile roles— while grounding him with a sense of community purpose.
