Ryan Caudelle
Director of Strategic Initiatives
The darker the night, the bolder the lion.
- Theodore Roosevelt
Ryan Caudelle is from Atlanta, Georgia, and serves as the Director of Strategic initiatives at AFPI. Most recently, Caudelle served as the Executive Director for the Georgia Republican Party, where he helped oversee efforts to improve a conservative majority with record non-presidential year fundraising. He is the last person to oversee a statewide federal campaign win for a Republican in Georgia, which President Donald J. Trump won in 2016. He calls Georgia home, but he finds himself constantly abroad, whether it be studying at Oxford University as an undergraduate or completing his MBA in London, working on a dissertation in Thailand, leading a humanitarian aid mission in South America, traveling across Africa, or just competing with his uncle for the most number of stamps in their passports. With an extensive background in politics and the financial sector, he enjoys connecting people to “make things happen.” When not working, he enjoys a good Hemingway book, being outdoors on a wing shoot, or watching the UGA Bulldawgs play in the fall.
