Who I Am
Hi, I’m Julio Poletti.
I’m a bilingual, Emmy Award-winning communications leader with 14+ years of experience building strategic communications, public relations, and multimedia storytelling programs across media & entertainment, nonprofit, science, telecommunications and corporate settings.
What drives me most is translating complex information into clear, human narratives that people can actually use. I’ve spent my career closing that gap: helping communities access the resources they need by making complicated things simple, and making sure that access doesn’t stop at a language barrier. Advancing equity and reaching underserved and multilingual communities isn’t just part of my job, it’s the part I care about most.
I’ve partnered with executives, cross-functional teams, and community stakeholders to build messaging that builds trust and drives real engagement, and I’m equally comfortable behind the strategy or in front of the camera. As an experienced on-camera and off-camera spokesperson, I’ve led crisis communications, media relations, and public information efforts from planning through execution.
Fluent in English and Spanish, with published bilingual work across both languages, I bring cultural fluency and communications expertise that goes beyond translation — it’s about knowing how to reach a community, not just speak its language.
My work has been recognized with three Emmy awards, three CBA awards, and an NBC Diamond Award for excellence in bilingual journalism, video production and storytelling.
I’m passionate about building communications that make a real difference, especially in public-facing roles where clear, accessible information genuinely changes lives.
