17th Anniversary of 9-11...
On the 17th Anniversary of 9-11, we continue prayers for a path to peace. (Picture above - TishTrek and husband Harry @ the podium inside the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York City). It was the privilege of a lifetime for us to be with leaders from around the world on a night when honoring excellence in writing and reporting was the common language uniting all of us. As one of the proud sponsors of the Annual U.N. Correspondents' Dinner, we enjoyed honoring excellence in writing and communications by helping to fund scholarships for international university students who had the courage & talent to tackle some of the difficult issues of our time. Through their magnificent words, they successfully created content that helped readers see through the lens of their research & life experiences. These students inspired all of us. I have confidence the next generation will pick up where we leave off.

Celebrating Our Technology Evangelist: Carlos Dominguez ~ Business Mentor and Hero

I salute Carlos Dominguez~former Cisco Systems Sr. VP and technology evangelist~who I worked with and for in a highly complex and competitive market in mid-1990's.  It was electrifying to recruit for Carlos as he challenged and motivated all of us across Cisco's field operations, systems engineering, professional services, marketing and U.S. sales divisions! The mission was to compete-to-win with a laser-focus on the customer experience inside the strategic markets of financial services, media, and pharmaceuticals.  Carlos spent 22 years at Cisco winning! He helped establish and led Cisco’s Service Provider organization to generate more than $14 billion in annual revenue.  In 2015 he joined Spinklr, Inc. as President and COO.  Ragy Thomas, CEO and founder of Sprinklr may have said it best, “Carlos has 3 decades of experience scaling global organizations in stages of hyper-growth, combined with an unparalleled passion for innovation and a contagious energy." "As Sprinklr continues to scale, we will rely heavily on his leadership and expertise to further support large brands on the path toward digital transformation.” In 2017 Carlos was named top executive at the Crain's Hispanic Executive and Entrepreneur Awards. By example Carlos taught us #ExcellenceAlwaysMatters
