Prospanica Acquires Techqueria, Forging a Massive National Network to Accelerate Latino Leadership in Business and Tech

A new chapter begins as two leading communities come together to build a stronger future for Latino and Hispanic professionals, students, and leaders across business and technology.

DALLAS, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In a landmark move uniting traditional business leadership with the tech sector, Prospanica, the Association of Hispanic MBAs and Business Professionals, today announced the finalization of its acquisition of Techqueria. The historic merger creates an unprecedented national powerhouse bridging Prospanica's 50+ chapters nationwide with Techqueria's community of over 20,000 members across 48 states and 84 countries, forming one of the most influential multi-disciplinary networks supporting Latino talent in business and technology.

The acquisition brings together two nationally recognized organizations with a shared commitment to advancing Latino and Hispanic professionals through education, leadership development, career advancement, mentorship, and community engagement. Building on their shared mission, Prospanica and Techqueria will create one of the most influential networks supporting Latino talent across business, technology, entrepreneurship, and emerging industries.

"For too long, corporate diversity initiatives have treated business leadership and tech talent as completely separate silos," said Thomas Savino, Chief Executive Officer of Prospanica. "By merging Prospanica's corporate and MBA footprint with Techqueria's deep tech community, we aren't just growing a bigger organization—we are building the definitive multi-disciplinary talent pipeline that Fortune 500 boardrooms and tech giants have been begging for."

"Our members didn't build Techqueria just to have another networking group; they built it to lead," said Joliz Cedeño, Executive Director of Techqueria. "By locking arms with Prospanica, our 20,000+ tech professionals now have an unobstructed on-ramp into executive leadership, venture funding, and corporate boardrooms that were previously closed off."

What This Means for Corporate Recruiter Pipelines

In an era where companies are restructuring their recruitment pipelines, this merger creates a centralized, vetted powerhouse. Corporate partners can now engage cross-disciplinary talent—from software engineers to C-suite executives—through a single unified partnership ecosystem.
