Ashley E. Davis is a partner at S-3 Group, a leading government relations and public affairs consultancy. Prior to this, Ashley was a lead principal at West Front Strategies, a multi-million dollar lobbying firm she co-founded in 2015. In this capacity, she oversees advocacy efforts for the interests of her Fortune 500 clients before the legislative and executive branches of the U.S. government.

Ashley built her public policy expertise over a career in the public and private sectors, including serving in a leadership role at the White House from 2001 to 2003.

Following the September 11 attacks, as the Special Assistant to the National Director (and later Secretary) of Homeland Security Tom Ridge, Ashley directed daily operations and 120 staff at the newly created Office of Homeland Security within the Executive Office of the President. She was also a member of the eight-person task force that created the Department of Homeland Security, the first new U.S. federal agency in 60 years. During that time, Ashley was involved in creating several government programs that still exist, including USA Freedom Corp. and several classified programs.

Following her tenure at the White House, Ashley served as a managing principal on the executive committee of Blank Rome and managed the law firm’s strategic alliances with over 20 international public affairs firms. At that time, she was the youngest practice group leader in the firm’s history.

Today, Ashley’s CEO-level clients seek her expertise in areas including homeland security, healthcare (she has been involved in all recently passed federal healthcare laws), energy, technology, education, and international trade.

Ashley holds a Masters of International Business from McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University; a Masters of International Business from the ESADE Business School (Spain); and a Corporate International Masters Business-A Degree from the FGV EBAPE School (Brazil). She holds an undergraduate degree from Westminster College.

She is a member of the BigSpeak Speakers Bureau and Gotham Artists, is a highly sought after contributor on major news networks, podcasts and panels and serves as an expert speaker for the Office of U.S. Speaker Program at the Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. She sits on several non-profit and corporate Boards such as Turning Point Brands Inc., Brooklyn Dumplings, The USA Gymnastics Foundation, Vital Voices Global Partnership, the Women’s Democracy Network at the International Republican Institute, Kennedy Center National Symphony Orchestra, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, and is a member of Women Corporate Directors. She is a member of the Economic Club of Washington DC.
She is also the Co-CEO of the Belizean Grove, a preeminent global network of influential women committed to building collaborative, trusted partnerships.
