Tony Villamil has returned full time to The Washington Economics Group (WEG) as Principal of the firm he founded in 1993 after successfully serving as U.S. Undersecretary for Economic Affairs in the George H. W. Bush Administration.

Mr. Villamil expressed enthusiasm on his return to WEG saying, "I am delighted and energized to rejoin the firm full time and to direct our exclusive economic advisor services for WEG's clients. Our firm has become a leading economic consulting practice over the past twenty-plus years, offering customized services to our clients as they expand operations in Florida, the rest of the nation and globally. I am currently advising our clients that 2014 is a promising year for targeted business expansion in a period of increasing economic activity, but also moderately rising interest rates. Businesses that are smart, flexible and fast will do very well in this economic environment."

Upon returning to WEG, Tony Villamil will focus on the continued representation of the firm's current clients, as well as creating digital economic content for businesses. Tony's first podcast as WEG's Principal gives businesses in Florida and those looking to do business in Florida, insight and analysis on the overall business climate in 2014 and opportunities available in the State.
