After a career of federal service as a Marine Corps pilot and American diplomat, and with long experience in journalism and the not-for-profit sector, Ambassador Feeley possesses a unique view on both the tactics and strategic thinking of the Trump Administration. His critical observations stem from principle, experience and a firm belief that national security affairs and American interests should always incorporate technocratic expertise, independent of political leadership.
The Executive Director for the Center for Media Integrity of the Americas (CMIA), John Feeley is a former career U.S. ambassador dedicated to promoting greater mutual understanding between the United States and Latin America and the Caribbean. During a 28-year State Department career, he served as Ambassador to Panama, Deputy Chief of Mission and Chargé d’Affaires in Mexico City, and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs.
