We are delighted to welcome Federico Gerber to the Navigate team as our new Client Strategy Analyst!

Federico moved from Córdoba, Argentina, to the U.S. at 18 to pursue soccer, finishing his career playing semiprofessionally for the Louisiana Krew FC at age 23. Energetic, curious, and friendly by nature, his professional journey began with coaching grassroots soccer in Louisiana. Eventually Fede took on the role of Recreational Commissioner at Crossroads Alexandria Soccer Club, overseeing a diverse group of 450+ players aged 3 to 18 each weekend.

Similarly, he contributed to his alma mater, Louisiana State University at Alexandria, as an Athletic Events and Operations Coordinator. In the challenging context of the pandemic, he orchestrated game days, managed sports facilities, led fundraising efforts, and engaged with the community. During a summer break in his second year of pursuing a Master’s in Global Management at Thunderbird, Fede spent 3 months in Miami, FL, as a Commercial Consultant with CONCACAF. In this role he participated in conceptualizing and developing strategies to enhance youth programs.

Fortuitously, during his last semester in Phoenix, Fede was part of the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee when they hosted the Super Bowl. He reflects how “this experience gave [him] a unique perspective on the significance of this iconic event”. Now as he joins Navigate, Fede will work collaboratively on our consulting team to help design and execute research-based solutions for clients.

 

Fede’s passions include traveling, fueling his insatiable curiosity, and immersing himself in diverse cultures. He’s forged friendships across various backgrounds and enjoys indulging in camping and barbecues.

He holds a profound affection for his friends and family, transcending the distance diligently through weekly calls, as he continues to nurture connections dating back to kindergarten. Additionally, Fede is a dedicated supporter of Belgrano, standing by the team through highs and, more commonly, lows, regardless of the time or day. One of life’s greatest joys is celebrating a World Cup victory with loved ones, creating cherished memories.
