        I’ve worked with Luis Rodriguez in a leadership capacity for close to six years now, and I can honestly say that I have never worked with anyone else with his degree of business savvy, strategic foresight, and heart. As the president of Keycentrix, I watched Luis meaningfully amplify a technology company, immediately and significantly boosting its profitability and market position while also caring for its employees and building a unique internal culture that prizes working both hard and smart; being inclusive so that all voices in the room are heard; putting integrity first; and recognizing each other’s humanity, whether that means taking time to laugh together or having necessary but tough conversations. Our team would not be where it is today if it were not for his strong example and leadership...
