BIO

Javier Fernandez-Dussaq

I am a storyteller and creative strategist who builds brands at the intersection of culture, purpose, and performance.

A proud U.S.–Guatemalan dual national, I bring cultural fluency and global perspective to my work. I am shaped by a deep belief that the most powerful brands don’t just speak — they connect, they move, and make people feel seen.

Over the years, I’ve built a career leading brand and creative for U.S. Soccer, driving fundraising for global nonprofits, and supporting athlete-led ventures. Along the way, I’ve led award-winning, bilingual campaigns that turn strategy into stories people actually care about.

What sets my work apart is how I lead it — with a balance of creative instinct and executive discipline. Whether launching a national campaign or shaping a long-term donor strategy, I focus on building ideas that move quickly, align teams, and deliver results without losing their soul.

I’ve led teams and complex initiatives across a wide range of marketing and engagement efforts. But what ultimately defines my work isn’t scale — it’s standards. I lead with integrity and intention, aligning people, purpose, and performance to ensure every project delivers real impact, whether it happens on a screen, in a mailbox, or in front of a live audience. I take pride in creating work that serves both the mission and the people it’s meant for.

Fluent in English and Spanish, and grounded in a bicultural perspective, I help organizations show up with clarity, credibility, and heart. At the core, I believe great storytelling isn’t about being louder — it’s about creating an emotional connection.
