  • Camilo Cruz
    As he writes in his book, In Search of the American Dream - A Guide to Succeeding in the United States, Dr. Cruz arrived in the United States in 1980, with no knowledge of the language, and with no more credentials than a high school diploma, a few hundred dollars and a bag full of dreams.
  • Dr. Cruz now possesses a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Seton Hall University. He has been a professor of Quantum Physics, Thermodynamics and Mathematics at several colleges in the United States, where he has also represented the interests of Hispanic faculty and students alike.
  • As an entrepreneur, Dr. Cruz has launched three successful companies and has served on the boards of several others. He co-founded Yupi Internet (now latino.msn.com), one of the most frequently visited Spanish-language portals in the world. He is also the founder and president of the Latino Institute fro Development, Education and Responsibility.
  • Doctor Camilo Cruz is a best selling author & sought after motivational speaker in the areas of personal development, professional excellence and leadership. He has published twenty books with sales approaching one million copies. His book “La Vaca” received the Latino Book Award as the best self-help book in Spanish 2004. As a public speaker, he is widely regarded in the Latin American corporate arena as one of the most influential speakers and consultants in the fields of peak performance and personal and organizational success.
  • Not only a talented businessman and business coach, Dr. Cruz also contributes to several newspapers and magazines in the U.S. and Latin America and is regularly featured on television and radio talk shows where he presents his philosophy on how to achieve success and create well-balanced and fulfilling lives.

“Dr. Cruz is destined to have an immeasurable influence on the world through the messages in his books.”
Mark Victor Hansen · Co-founder Chicken Soup for the Soul

“La historia del Dr. Cruz es un ejemplo de inspiración y una muestra de esa actitud de nunca darse por vencido. Su habilidad para motivar a otros tendrá un impacto extraordinario en la educación, el liderazgo y el éxito de nuestra comunidad latina.”
Edward James Olmos · Actor y Co-Producer Latino Book & Family Festivals

“I find Dr. Cruz’s books everywhere. I invite him to my program because I feel that his ideas are not just about how to succeed in the U.S., but how to succeed anywhere.”
