Founded in 2003 as a direct response to the economic crisis in Argentina, the company today has more than 20,000 Globers collaborating across 18 countries, serving almost 800 blue chip clients worldwide.

Diversity is a key component of our culture and we believe it strongly fosters creativity and innovation in every single one of our teams,” said Fernando Matzkin, Chief Business Officer of Globant North America.

For more than a decade, HITEC has honored Hispanic professionals on the HITEC 100 list as part of the organization’s mission to increase Hispanic representation and build stronger technology and executive leaders in the diversity-challenged technology industry.

They drove Latin America to become the epicenter of transformation for many global companies and provided incredible opportunities for me to contribute to our growth over the past ten years. I am truly honored for this recognition on the 2022 HITEC 100, and thrilled to lead Globant’s strong commitment to create, build and nurture diverse tech talent in the United States and Canada,” said Nicolás Ávila, Chief Technology Officer of Globant North America.
