I've actually ventured into the fun hobby of narrating audiobooks! After only a few auditions, I landed my first narration project, which involved roasting coffee for beginners. Anyone want to help me scrape off all of the barnacles that have been accumulated? While we had fun on that voyage, NOPE, I've been busy with another venture, so the virtual cruise ship's been docked. Remember me? You've probably been worried that my boat sank on the high seas after my last 4 passenger voyage (or podcast) titled, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" which featured 4 retired State of California Information Technology Executives including Terri Bennet, Dale Jablonsky, Joe Panora and Paul Benedetto. She graduated from Golden Gate University with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration, is a native of Sacramento and Chapter leader of the Latinas in Tech Sacramento Valley Chapter. Cruz also specializes in organizational change management with experience in communications, marketing and event planning. Her IT experience includes Chief Technology Officer for the Secretary of State and leading enterprise-wide projects from strategy development through implementation. She has more than 20 years experience in the public sector including multiple state departments.
More about Cruz: Cruz Nieto is the Chief of the Project Management Office for the CA Environmental Protection Agency. It was a real treat to listen to the good work this important organization is doing to inspire the next generation of Latinas and highlight the need for the benefit of diversity in the workplace.

On this spicy episode of The Cave Boat, the Captain invites Cruz Nieto for a short, but informative 30-minute cruise (see what I did there?) to discuss Latinas in Tech, a multi-chapter professional networking organization founded by Latinas and for Latinas. I'm looking forward to them listening to it!Ĭhart your course to the largest network of Latina women working across the technology sector! The Captain returns to the high seas with a fresh wave of Passion! I've prepared a virtual speech for this year's upcoming cohort. I went through the program in 2015-2016, and it really jumpstarted my career. ITLA is the State of California IT community's equivalent of Top Gun flight school. Individuals with a vision for enterprise-wide thinking, strong potential for career advancement into executive or senior management positions, and experience carrying out their organization’s mission and vision are encouraged to apply. Participants in the academy are selected from state and other public agencies and departments that work in information technology programs. The Information Technology Leadership Academy (ITLA) is a 17-week program for public sector IT professionals with a focus on developing the critical leadership skills needed by the state’s IT workforce.
In January, the next cohort of the IT Leadership Academy, ITLA 29, gets underway! California state government has an IT Leadership Academy named ITLA.
