Carlos Quezada

The son of Mexican parents bounced between Mexico and the US during his adolescence before finally settling in the US when he was fourteen. He’d go from barely finishing high school and feeling like an imposter among his industry peers to becoming a decorated leader with over two decades of experience in start-ups, technology, customer strategy, and people leadership. Today, Quezada is a vulnerable and empathetic leader who’s transforming his industry with a digital-first approach to customer success and customer experience at HPE, which has garnered its fair share of recognition and rewards. Quezada also is the executive sponsor for HPE’s Hispanic employee resource group (ERG), known as JUNTOS, and sits on the diversity, equity, and inclusion board with the company’s senior leaders. Outside wor,k he founded the UNIDOS ERG Collaborative, a platform for Latino ERG leaders to amplify their work and to network. Through those efforts, he coaches and mentors individuals across his company, in local communities, and across the world.
