David Segura serves as Chief Executive Officer and is the founder of VisionIT.
With a strong technology background within a Fortune 10 corporation, Segura combined his zeal for IT with a bold vision to create VisionIT in 1997. Since that time, Segura has successfully led the company from a startup to a global enterprise.
Segura leads the overall VisionIT corporate strategy and develops executive level relationships with its customers and corporate partners. Under his savvy leadership, VisionIT has become one of the most recognized minority-owned businesses in the United States. Part of this recognition is a derivative of Segura’s passion for corporate diversity and minority business development, which has given him a solid reputation as a champion of diversity in the national business community.
Throughout his career, Segura has developed strong business partnerships with notable Fortune 500 companies, while helping other minority-owned businesses do the same. Segura also maintains strong relationships with many diversity organizations, such as the National Minority Supplier Development Council, United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and the National Society of Hispanic MBA’s while also doing business with many minority-owned firms around the nation.
True to his commitment of advancing the roles of minorities within IT, Segura is a founding architect and current vice chair of the nation’s first Hispanic senior-level IT executive organization the Hispanic IT Executive Council (HITEC), as well as a long-standing member of the Information Technology Senior Management Forum (ITSMF) and the Black Data Processing Association (BDPA).
Segura is also deeply committed to the growth of the community in which he lives and serves. His vision for VisionIT evolved from his community involvement where he volunteered teaching technology to inner city Detroit youth. That rewarding experience inspired him to create a company summer internship program in partnership with Wayne State University that for the past ten years has provided Detroit high school students with valuable exposure to the growing information technology field.
Segura has served on many non-profit boards including the Detroit Regional Chamber, Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and the Heat and Warmth Fund. Segura has also been highlighted many times in his career including Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year for the Central Great Lakes region as well as Hispanic Business Magazine’s National Entrepreneur of the Year. Most recently Segura was selected by President Obama as one of the 50 CEOs to participate in the White House Forum on Modernizing U.S. Government.
David holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
