Among those highlighted on the list are Diana Arteaga, Vice President of Government Relations and Community Affairs for Broward Health; Cesar Conde, Chairman of NBCUniversal International Group & Telemundo; and Jorge Gonzalez, Vice President of National Public Affairs for AT&T.
Julio Fuentes, President and CEO of FSHCC, offered praise for those who made the list in a statement Wednesday.
“We are incredibly happy to award recognitions to the leaders in our Hispanic business community and, as a result, the economy continues to grow in the sunshine state,” Fuentes said.
“In an ever more competitive business environment, these 50 Hispanic honorees are extremely deserving of this recognition as each of their unique stories and careers were destined to be celebrated and rewarded.”
