Journalist and Syndicated Columnist
His column is featured every Sunday in La Opinión, which is the number one Hispanic newspaper in the country with a circulation of over 400,000 and is syndicated to other Impremedia properties in the top US markets. His commentary about technology and unique writing style has been well received by readers due to his ability to synthesize complex concepts and teach people in a manner that they can understand and enjoy.
He is also one of the first technology blogueros en Español and the founder of Tutecnologia.com, a thriving online community where Latinos learn, share and get their questions answered in a variety of technology-related subjects. Coro conceived Tu Tecnología using crowdsourcing, where many members contribute for the benefit of the community, a truly innovative operational model where everyone wins.
His adventures with Technology
Coro's life story demonstrates the power of ingenuity and problem solving especially when one's resources are limited. Born in Havana, Cuba, Coro enjoyed learning about technology and electronics from an early age. At 15, he assembled one of the first homemade satellite dishes in the country, made from parts of an old Soviet radio such as a coffee can, a mosquito net and available electronic components. He used the dish to watch television channels that were forbidden and meant only for the island's tourists and elite government officials. This newly found access to information transformed his life. Not only did it educate him, but it also opened a window for him to the otherwise closed outside world. He then ventured into the world of computers and was among the first people on the island to have access to e-mail. This eventually led him to flee the island at age 18. When he arrived to the U.S., he had a limited formal education and was barely able to speak English but that didn't stop him.
Freedom offered Coro the opportunity to build a career with his self-taught technology and communication skills. He started a technology consulting business, which led him to work for Check Point Software and The Space Telescope Science Institute where the Hubble Space Telescope was managed. In 2004, he arrived at Cisco Systems in California, where he consulted for large clients and presented at key events and executive briefings on their behalf.
Educator and Speaker
Coro has been a featured speaker at numerous events including keynote addresses and workshops at national and international conferences. His speeches and workshops are charged with a good sense of humor and practical advice that audiences remember long after his presentation.
Coro's continued educational mission is to empower Latinos to embrace technology and firmly believes that the adoption and successful application of this skill set will empower and propel the Hispanic community to success.
