Why Closing the Hispanic Leadership Gap in Tech is so Important
Summary
In recent years, more emphasis has been put on the importance of promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in the workplace, but the tech industry, along with other STEM fields, still has a long way to go in becoming a more equitable workforce. While tech training programs and bootcamps can help alleviate some barriers by potentially costing less and being quicker than the typical four-year degree, many can still be expensive and do not adequately target underrepresented groups for recruitment," said CEO of Humantelligence, Juan Betancourt. As one of the most awarded Hispanic tech founders of 2022-23, Juan launched Humantelligence in 2016, taking a new approach to one-to-one and team communication, collaboration and inclusion. In addition to its ease of use, quick implementation, and ability to optimize collaboration for remote and hybrid teams, Humantelligence uses generative AI to surface personalized communication insights in the tools organizations use every day: Microsoft Teams®, Outlook®, Gmail®, Zoom®, Webex®, Slack® and calendars. Its important to remember this during Hispanic Heritage month and throughout the year because it will take all of us—corporate leaders, investors, innovators, and citizens—working together to shape a more inclusive, diverse, and better-performing society.
