The Hispanic IT Executive Council (HITEC) is a premier global executive leadership organization of senior business and IT executives who have built outstanding careers in information technology. Since 2008, the organization has compiled a comprehensive list featuring the top 100 most influential and notable Hispanic professionals in the information technology industry called the “HITEC 100.” Two Johnson & Johnson IT leaders landed on the 2016 HITEC 100: Lucia Soares, vice president, Healthcare Technology Strategy and Guillermo Ardon, Group CIO, Supply Chain, vice president, Information Technology. Soares and Ardon were chosen as HITEC 100 awardees based on the impact they’ve made at Johnson & Johnson in technology, their involvement in the Hispanic community, and for continuously showing that Johnson & Johnson is aligned with HITEC’s mission to enable business and professional growth to fill the executive pipeline with the next generation of Hispanic IT leaders. Soares presented a keynote at the HITEC Silicon Valley Leadership Summit about using technology for the greater good, and Johnson & Johnson’s focus on technology to improve human health and wellness.
