The editors of Hispanic Engineer & Information Technology magazine (HE&IT) recently compiled a list of talented Hispanic technical leaders in a variety of business sectors and government. Making it on this list was Valéria Fernandes, who oversees all IT strategies throughout Chrysler’s business units.
According to Des Moines Chrysler, the addition of Fernandes to the list “exemplifies Company’s commitment to technical excellence and to diversity and inclusion.” HE&IT editors evaluate and select the “Top 200” based on excellence in their professional work, strong commitment to their communities and leadership as role models and mentors, and Chrysler believes Fernades perfectly meets that criteria.
“Valéria exemplifies Chrysler Group’s commitment to technical excellence and to diversity and inclusion,” said Scott Sandschafer, Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Chrysler Group LLC. ”The entire Chrysler Group team is very proud of Valéria and her extraordinary accomplishments as an IT professional and leader.”
Fernandes studied information systems at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas in Brazil. She later did post-graduate work at George Washington University. She currently is a member of the Chrysler Hispanic Employee Network and is a member of the Hispanic Information Technology Executive Council, the Latinos in Information Sciences and Technology Association and the National Society for Hispanic Professionals.
“It is indeed a great honor to be included among this select group of technical professionals,” Fernandes said. “Chrysler Group believes that a multi-cultural work environment supports a stronger, more innovative and more sustainable Company. I am very proud to be a member of this outstanding, diverse and global Chrysler Group team.”
