ETS Founder and CEO Julio Gonzalez Named One of Florida’s Top 50 Hispanic Business Leaders!

What an honor! Last week, our founder and CEO, Julio Gonzalez, was named as one of Florida’s top 50 Hispanic business leaders by the Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce!

Julio Fuentes, President and CEO of the Chamber, praised those who made the list in a statement last Wednesday: “We are incredibly happy to award recognitions to the leaders in our Hispanic business community, and as a result, the economy continues to grow in the Sunshine State. In an ever-more competitive business environment, these 50 Hispanic honorees are extremely deserving of this recognition, as each of their unique stories and careers were destined to be celebrated and rewarded.”

“This was a complete shock,” said Julio, a Miami native who is of both Cuban and Puerto Rican heritage. “I had no idea I was even nominated. It’s a great honor to be so recognized.”
