About Antonio White

A Leader’s Trusted Confidant and Catalyst for Impact

Long before Antonio White stepped into the corridors of power, his journey began on the highways of Ohio—specifically, Interstate 480, the vital artery that connects Cleveland’s communities. This stretch of road, always in motion, mirroring progress and opportunity, would later inspire the name of his company: 480 Advisors. Just as the I-480 serves as a passage to new destinations and a connector between neighbors and businesses, Antonio has spent his career helping leaders navigate public affairs, special project development, and executive branding.

Antonio’s passion for leadership started at home. His maternal grandparents were dedicated community advocates, and his paternal grandmother ran her own small business. From them, he learned the value of public service, resilience, and an enterprising mindset. Those lessons shaped his career, giving him the confidence to take on high-profile roles—including two presidential appointments and senior leadership positions in government, business, and philanthropy.

But Antonio isn’t just about titles—he’s about impact. Over the years, he has helped executives, industry leaders, and public figures sharpen their message, manage risks, and build lasting reputations, whether it be at the Davos World Economic Forum or at the New Orleans Essence Festival. He understands that real influence isn’t just about
being seen—it’s about being recognized and respected.

Through 480 Advisors, Antonio helps organizations and leaders tell their stories, build credibility, and position themselves for success. Whether you need an effective project management and implementation strategy, reputation management, or a stronger executive brand, Antonio knows how to make an impact.

If you're ready to elevate your presence and gain the recognition you deserve, the journey starts with scheduling a meeting.
