Claro Enterprise Solutions, a leading global technology services company, today announced that President and CEO Jorge Rodriguez has been named to the HITEC 2021 100 list of the most influential and notable Hispanic professionals in the technology industry.
The HITEC 100 list is a compilation of the top Hispanic professionals in the technology industry from across the United States and celebrates their leadership and achievements in all sectors of the industry. Awardees are evaluated on their accomplishments in the dynamic global technology landscape and for their mentoring and professional development activities. Individuals included on the list were selected by the 2020 Awards Committee. Nominations are solicited from HITEC members and the general public.
"It is because of these leaders and innovators that businesses and families around the world have been able to stay connected, functioning and forging a path forward. It is an extremely proud moment for the Hispanic community and the tech industry to recognize and celebrate these leaders," said Diaz.
"With each passing year, the HITEC 100 continues to strengthen in caliber and representation at the highest levels of the Hispanic talent in the technology industry. This year, HITEC received a record number of nominations, which shows the growth in visibility and impact that HITEC has in the community. We continue raising the bar in a more challenging selection process," said HITEC Board Member and Chair of the Awards Committee, Juan Carlos Gutierrez, Head of Latam Solution Architecture and Customer Success, Amazon Web Services (AWS).
"Today, our customers, our industry and our business face unprecedented challenges," said Rodriguez. "I couldn't be prouder of how the Claro Enterprise Solutions team has embraced this new reality and found innovative solutions to meet extraordinary customer demands, and how we continue to evolve to meet the challenges of the fluid environment we are all operating in. To be recognized by HITEC for leadership at such a time is therefore particularly gratifying."
For more than a decade, HITEC has honored Hispanic professionals on the HITEC 100 list as part of the organization's mission to increase Hispanic representation and build stronger technology and executive leaders in the diversity-challenged technology industry. This mission aligns with Claro Enterprise Solutions' commitment to diversity as well as the company's history, culture and identity.
"Jorge has led by example throughout this difficult year," said Camila Casale, Chief Marketing Officer at Claro Enterprise Solutions. "He has committed himself to ensuring the safety of all of our employees, and he has enabled our organization to rapidly pivot to create solutions aligned to our customers' immediate and constantly changing requirements. As a team, we are honored to share this recognition with Jorge."
