About HITEC
HITEC (Hispanic IT Executive Council) was founded by senior Hispanic IT
executives who have built outstanding careers in information technology but
realized that there were far too few Hispanics in the IT leadership role. With a
strong desire and passion to make an impact within the Hispanic IT community by
helping others reach the highest levels, HITEC was formed in late 2006. These
national leaders include executives leading Fortune 500 corporations on both
U.S. and global initiatives while others lead some of the largest Hispanic owned
IT firms in the United States.
