Vienna, VA / October 18, 2011/ -MicroTech President & CEO Tony Jimenez has been named to the 2011 Top 100 Most Influential Hispanics in America. The list is made up of prominent Hispanic movers and shakers in the areas of business, diversity, arts & entertainment, academic, and government. Jimenez is making his first appearance in this elite group, highlighting his impact in the corporate field. He is one of only two privately-held company CEOs on the entire list. The exclusive feature is published in the October 2011 edition of Hispanic Business Magazine.
Jimenez is at the helm of award-winning MicroTech, the Fastest-Growing Hispanic-Owned Business in the U.S. for the last three years.

"This is a real honor to make such a prestigious list of notable Hispanics in America," said Tony Jimenez, President & CEO of MicroTech. "My business goals have always included helping others, including Hispanics, become successful entrepreneurs. America is truly the land of opportunity and I share my influence with the Hispanic community by mentoring and teaching others, and by setting a good example of how to overcome obstacles and achieve business success."
The individuals that make up the annual most influential list are drawn from several sources, mainly submissions from readers and visitors to HispanicBusiness.com, and from the publication's editorial and research staff. In addition to Tony Jimenez, this year's notable recipients include the NBA Atlanta Hawks owner Alex Meruelo, Jack In the Box Inc. Chairwoman, CEO and President Linda A. Lang, Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval, and Florida Senator Marco Rubio.

A passionate advocate for the Hispanic community, organizations like Deloitte, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Small Business Administration, U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and NASDAQ have all acknowledged his extraordinary success.
Recognized numerous times by government agencies and watch groups honoring individuals who have played pivotal roles in the government tech community, Jimenez has advised the last two U.S. Presidents on economic matters. Recently, he met one-on-one with former President Clinton, and traveled to Puerto Rico for a historic meeting with President Obama. He serves as an advisor to the White House on the U.S. Department of Commerce National Advisory Council on Minority Business Enterprise.
