Hector Ruiz has reached the pinnacle of what every business person has dreamed of: he is the former CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Not many people reach this esteemed position, let alone Latinos. In fact, today 2% of CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are Latinos. The shortage of Latinos in those high-ranking positions make the lessons and words of Hector more pronounced. He is one of the few resources that Latinos have in a corporate businessman.
Hector shares with us his mindset and tools that led him to a fulfilling career. Having a high level of curiosity, learning to appreciate how critical people are, taking risks, and having a level of trust with people that you work with are a handful of topics that we discuss that could change your perspective on how you look at business and at life.
Instincts is one of the most powerful tools that at anyone can have to help navigate him or her throughout many aspects of life. Hector heavily relied on his instincts. He gives a detailed explanation how one can fully develop and trust their instincts.
As more Latinos are graduating from college and the Latino population keeps growing, more and more companies will hire Latinos to be part of their boards and they will eventually become CEOs. Hector is appreciated for trailblazing this path for us. We will always have his words and life lessons to guide us.
