HITEC

Last Tuesday at the HITEC EEP session, we had the honor of hosting Eduardo R. Ortiz-Romeu, Global Head of Cybersecurity at TTI. Eduardo delivered a compelling and insightful presentation that provided a different perspective on cybersecurity. His extensive experience and expertise truly engaged our fellows. Thank you, Eduardo, for sharing your knowledge and making the session enlightening and accessible.

“Latinos make up nearly 19% of the U.S. population and account for about one in five workers, the report finds that they only represent one in every 10 workers across the tech industry.” And, "Latinos hold only 5% of executive leadership positions and 3% of board roles in tech.

Change is best made by holding a position of high impact, such as that of an executive leader. Given Latinos hold such a small percentage of leadership positions, it is imperative for Latinos to unite and invest in each other's success to drive meaningful change. Positioning Latinos as the economic, workforce, and social superpowers they are while also investing in them will result in tangible success. Driving change in the tech industry starts with representation. Effective leadership during times of change requires empathy, accountability, investment, and positive influence.

Yesterday’s HITEC EEP Program Session was transformed by the dynamic presence of Sheila Maloney, the visionary CEO and Founder of Life Match, LLC. With eloquence and wisdom, she shared invaluable insights on negotiation strategies and self-assessment. It was an honor to have her as our speaker. We are grateful for her generous contribution to our program. #Leadership #Inspiration #HITEC #EEP #EmergingTechnologyLeaders

At HITEC, we are keenly aware that Hispanics are the fastest growing segment in the United States, and that technology is the second largest industry in the nation. This is what makes HITEC essential – now, more than ever. We also know that influencing Latinos to go into the tech field starts with education. Through the HITEC Foundation, we invest in Hispanic students through scholarships, mentorship, and career opportunities. Through our informative and network-filled Summits and events, we continue to empower Hispanic Technology Professionals. And with our Emerging Executive Program, as well as our Board Readiness Program, we ensure that such professionals advance their career paths. HITEC truly accelerates the power and impact of Hispanic Technology Leaders, from the classroom to the boardroom.

In this article, Antonio Tijerino notes, "with nearly 80 percent of new jobs over the next decade going to a Latino, the critical need to increase education, skills, opportunities, and sense of belonging for Latin[o] in technology is beyond an investment in our community, but in the present and future of the United States to compete globally." HITEC knows the technology industry needs more Hispanics. HITEC is on a mission to create notable impact in this industry by gaining greater Hispanic representation in the work force, as leaders and as decision-makers.
