The HITEC Emerging Executive Program has given me a tremendous opportunity to support and mentor talented Hispanic professionals as they grow and advance in their careers. This is such a rewarding experience, and I am honored to be able to pay it forward and assist others,” said Al Ramos, Managing Director and Co-Chair of the Americas Race & Ethnic Diversity Committee at Morgan Stanley.
