Ignite Talks by Carlos Hernandez

I am a Social Media Catalyst, Trainer and Connector to people desiring to be Web 2.0 savvy, but especially to Baby Boomers.

Why so?

In February of 2007, I elected to pursue a calling to help people. I especially identify with fellow Baby Boomers who are intimidated by emerging social media technologies.

I have been successful by working with individuals and businesses to leverage Web 2.0 technology in their sales and marketing initiatives. My talent is to show fellow professionals how to develop networks and connections via LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter in an integrated and cross-promotional manner.

I made the conscious decision to become a social media change agent by combining my talents of public speaking, problem solving and teaching. My passion and knowledge are grounded in a 28-year professional career working for Westinghouse Electric & Eaton Corporations in technical- solution sales, marketing and project management. Academically, I studied Civil Engineering at Stanford University's School of Engineering.

Building community is important to me and I do so through the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity (Vice President of the Silicon Valley Alumni Association), Catholic Professional Business Club (currently as President), and Archbishop Riordan High School Alumni Council. Lastly, I devote volunteer time and energy at Grace Cathedral's "GraceWorks" Program, currently on the "Program Team" for those in job and/or career transition.
