NEW YORK-With a focus of advancing the role of Hispanics within the ranks of the information technology industry, the newly formed Hispanic IT Executive Council (HITEC) will host its first national Executive Leadership Summit in New York City June 15-16 at UBS.
The event, sponsored by UBS, will feature keynote appearances by some of UBS's leadership, including Michael Poser, the managing director, global head of IT production, regional head of IT Americas and chair of the Americas IT diversity working group.
"This event marks a major milestone for this important organization," said David Olivencia, HITEC president. "Assembling some of the most talented Hispanic IT executives along with some of the nation's most respected IT leadership fosters the very environment that HITEC aims to create. We are extremely grateful to UBS for assisting us in this most important endeavor."
The first-ever event of its kind, marks tremendous progress for the newly formed national organization.
HITEC was founded in December 2006 by senior Hispanic IT executives who have built successful careers in information technology and collectively shared a strong desire to make an impact within the Hispanic community by helping others reach the highest levels within information technology. These national leaders include senior-level executives of Fortune 500 corporations and some of the largest Hispanic-owned IT firms in the United States.
