MOST INFLUENTIAL HISPANICS IN TECHNOLOGY
Anthony (Tony) Jimenez President & CEO MicroTech
Anthony (Tony) Jimenez truly embodies the phrase “if you can dream it, you can be it.” He is a visionary entrepreneur, a highly-decorated veteran, and an award- winning philanthropist. As the CEO and founder of MicroTech, which Hispanic Business magazine has called “the No. 1 Fastest-Growing Hispanic-Owned Busi- ness in the Nation” for two consecutive years, he has grown his business into a multimillion-dollar powerhouse with over 400 leading professionals support- ing over 100 prime contracts and 20- plus contract vehicles with civilian and defense agencies. The U.S. Army has en- trusted MicroTech with some of its most important projects: In February 2011,
MicroTech was awarded the landmark U.S. Army $400 Million Information Technol- ogy Services–Small Business contract; just one month later, MicroTech won the $2.5 billion Operations, Planning, Training, and Resource Support Services (OPTARSS II) contract. It isn’t hard to see why: Mr. Jimenez’s government experience includes over 25 years in IT, strategic planning, enterprise transformation and acquisition management, which he put to use spearheading DoD efforts at remedying platform transformation issues faced by government organizations. Mr. Jimenez’s tireless advocacy for veterans, Hispanics, and small business owners has earned him numer- ous accolades. He’s been named Veteran Champion of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Association, The Washington Business Journal’s Minority Business Leader of the Year, and a Circle of Excellence Top Philanthropist by SmartCEO magazine.

David H. Segura
Chief Executive Officer and Founder VisionIT
David Segura combined his zeal for information technology with a vision to create VisionIT in 1997. Almost 14 years on, VisionIT has become one of the most recognized minority-owned busi- nesses in the United States. Throughout his career, Segura has developed busi- ness partnerships with notable Fortune 500 companies, while helping other minority-owned businesses do the same. True to his commitment of advancing the roles of minorities within IT, Segura is a founding architect and current vice chair of the nation’s first Hispanic senior- level IT executive organization, the Hispanic IT Executive Council, as well as a member of the Information Technol- ogy Senior Management Forum, which is focused on advancing African Ameri- can IT leadership. Segura also maintains relationships with the National Minor- ity Supplier Development Council, the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and the National Society of Hispanic M.B.A.s, while doing business with many minority-owned firms around the nation. In early 2010, Segura was selected by President Obama as one of the 50 CEOs to participate in the White House Forum on Modernizing U.S. Gov- ernment. In the fall of 2010, Segura was appointed by the president to serve on the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations. Most recently, Segura was appointed by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke to serve on the National Advisory Council on Minority Business Enterprise.
