But over the last ten years, I’ve realized that I need to actively reach out more to my Hispanic community. There is a lot of good work to be done, and I believe I have a duty to give back as much as I can.”
René Rodriguez, CEO, Volentum
The Transformationists
Hispanic Executive’s Transformationists 2026 series spotlights the Latino leaders whose impact reaches far beyond their own companies. These founders, investors, authors, and speakers have built something worth building—and then turned around to give the playbook away, teaching ownership, communication, and the consistency that turns ambition into legacy. Their work meets people where they are: in small businesses, in boardrooms, in the first generation figuring it out without a map. This series shares the stories of the Latinos who measure success by how many people they bring with them.
