Thoughtworks (NASDAQ: TWKS), a global technology consultancy that integrates strategy, design and engineering, announces the inclusion of Martha Ruiz, global head of people, Thoughtworks, in the esteemed 2025 HITEC 100 list honoring the most influential and distinguished Hispanic professionals in technology.
Every year, HITEC recognizes the achievements and contributions of the top US-based Hispanic technology executives with the goal of celebrating their impactful leadership and inspiring others looking to build careers in technology. HITEC’s vision is to accelerate the power and impact of Hispanic technology leaders, achieving lasting equity from the classroom to the boardroom.
“The HITEC 100 leaders inspire our community, they trail-blaze new and exciting paths for our Industry and the society, they are the lighthouse of the art of the possible,” said Alvaro Celis, HITEC Board Member and Awards Committee Chair.
The 2025 HITEC 100 Award recipients include some of the world's most esteemed Hispanic leaders from global Fortune 100 firms, including CEOs, CIOs, CTOs and leaders in diverse technology disciplines. Forty-six percent of this year’s HITEC 100 Award recipients are Latinas and recipients come from 16 unique countries from throughout Latin America, Spain and Portugal. Recipients are leaders from 65 different companies and 38 percent are being recognized with the HITEC 100 Award for the first time.
“Technology is the most critical engine for growth in any business and any sector. Technology leaders, especially those recognized as part of the HITEC 100 are helping drive innovation and the global economy, said Rosa Ramos-Kwok, HITEC Board Chair. "The HITEC 100 recipients are driving impact and change in their companies and are setting a bright example for rising leaders. The members of the HITEC 100 are the pride of our community!”
“It’s an honor to be included among the HITEC 100 as this award is a validation of our shared commitment to break barriers, drive innovation and inspire the next generation of Hispanic leaders in technology to make an extraordinary impact on the world,” said Martha Ruiz, Global Head of People, Thoughtworks. “I’m grateful for the support of my team, mentors and community. Together, we are building a stronger, more inclusive future for all.”
