Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley (HFSV) has named former San José Mayor Ron Gonzales as its new President and CEO.
 
The appointment fills the vacancy left by Teresa Alvarado, HFSV’s first executive director, who is stepping down this summer.
 
“The Board and I are extremely pleased with our selection of Ron. We picked Ron because he brings the experience, skill, and passion we need to expand the foundation’s efforts to strengthen our Hispanic community of Silicon Valley,” said Carmen Sigler, president of the HFSV board of directors.
 
“We are looking forward to working with him to increase our partnerships with other foundations and other business, ethnic and cultural groups dedicated to improving the quality of life for all residents in our region,” added Ivonne Montes de Oca, Founder and Board Member Emeritus.
 
“I’m very excited about this opportunity with the Hispanic Foundation to continue my lifelong commitment to public service,” said Gonzales. “The board has a clear vision and it has already developed a comprehensive strategy to expand the foundation’s scope and effectiveness over the next five years that will help our entire community.”
 
“Together we will make progress on important issues such as education, housing, jobs, health care, and neighborhoods that truly matter both to our Hispanic community and to the region as a whole.”
