Ariel Coro biography
Technology speaker Ariel Coro is the most trusted technology expert for the U.S. Hispanic community, and a pioneer who, more than anyone, brought technology to Spanish-language media. Born in Havana, Cuba, where at fifteen he built one of the country’s first homemade satellite dishes out of an old Soviet radio, a coffee can, and a mosquito net, he has spent his career on a single mission: helping people embrace technology to reinvent themselves and get ahead. Few communicators can make the complex world of tech and AI as clear, useful, and genuinely exciting as he does.
For two decades, Coro has been a fixture on live television, most notably as the on-air technology expert for Despierta América, Univision’s number-one morning show, which reaches more viewers than Good Morning America, CBS Mornings, and the Today Show combined. He is a regular contributor and commentator on CNN en Español and Univision Network News, has appeared across NBC and FOX, and his technology column has run in La Opinión, the largest Spanish-language daily in the United States. He was also one of the first technology bloggers in Spanish.
El Salto and Tecnifícate: Technology for Everyone
A former Cisco engineer turned entrepreneur, investor, and advisor to Fortune 500 companies, Coro is the author of El Salto: Aprovecha las nuevas tecnologías y alcanza tu potencial, published by Random House, which he describes not as a “how-to” but a “why-to” book: a fresh, motivating guide to why staying current with technology is essential to success. He is also the founder of Tecnifícate, an educational conference series that has helped Spanish-speaking audiences understand and leverage emerging technologies.
As a speaker, Ariel Coro is dynamic, warm, and endlessly engaging, with a rare gift for synthesizing complex concepts and making them enjoyable. Delivering keynotes fluently in both Spanish and English, he speaks on how organizations and individuals can turn technology and AI into a competitive advantage, the future of innovation, digital reinvention, and reaching multicultural and Hispanic audiences. Trusted by more than a hundred organizations, he leaves audiences informed, energized, and ready to take their own leap into the future.
