About Aaron-John Malicdem

I help technology, telecommunications, media, and entertainment clients navigate Washington and achieve real policy wins. With nearly 11 years on Capitol Hill, I’ve built deep relationships and know how to move priorities forward in Congress. From securing millions in federal funding to organizing high-impact events with Members of Congress and senior staff, my focus is on results, relationships, and strategic advocacy. Let’s connect.I’m a Director in the Government Affairs division at FGS Global, helping clients address complex policy challenges and achieve strategic wins in Washington.My Capitol Hill experience includes serving as Senior Advisor to U.S. Representative Don Davis (NC-01) and Deputy Chief of Staff to U.S. Representative G.K. Butterfield (NC-01), where I secured millions in federal funding for community projects in eastern North Carolina and co-led the Congressional Black Caucus’ TECH2020 initiative to advance diversity in the technology sector through targeted legislative solutions.At FGS, I continue to drive impact by organizing high-profile events that connect clients with Members of Congress, senior staff, and key stakeholder communities — strengthening relationships and creating opportunities to move the needle on policy priorities.I serve on the Board of Visitors for East Carolina University (currently in my second four-year term) and have proudly served in the U.S. Air Force Reserves since 2015. I hold a Bachelor’s in Engineering with a concentration in Biomedical Engineering from East Carolina University and a Master’s in Applied Information Technology from George Mason University.Outside of work, I enjoy family time, exploring new restaurants, visiting museums, and traveling. I’m also a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
