David Segura serves as Chief Executive Officer and is the founder of VisionIT.
15 years ago, with a strong technology background within a Fortune 10 corporation, Segura combined his zeal for IT with a bold vision to create VisionIT, an IT Managed Services, IT Staffing, and Vendor Management firm. Since that time, Segura has successfully led the company from a startup to a global enterprise working with some of the largest corporations in the U.S. and Latin America.
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 largest and most recognized minority-owned businesses in the United States, operating in 20 U.S. offices, and global operations in Puerto Rico, Mexico, and India.
Throughout his career, Segura has developed strong business partnerships with notable Fortune 500 corporations and State and Local government. Segura also maintains strong relationships with many diversity organizations, such as the National Minority Supplier Development Council and the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, while also doing business with many minority-owned firms around the nation.
A commitment to diversity, community
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).
Segura is also deeply focused on the growth of the community in which he lives and serves. His vision for VisionIT was derived from teaching Detroit inner-city youth about technology. That rewarding volunteer experience inspired him to create a VisionIT summer internship program in partnership with Wayne State University. For the past ten years the internship program has provided Detroit high school students with valuable exposure to the growing field of information technology. VisionIT is also a major sponsor of TLAB, a non-profit accelerated learning center for K-12 students focused on increasing skills across math, science, language and reading.
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’s accomplishments have also been highlighted throughout 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.
Segura has major global influence with his roles as an advisor at the highest levels of the U.S. Government. In early 2010, Segura was selected by President Obama as one of 50 CEOs to participate in the White House Forum on Modernizing U.S. Government. In the fall of 2010, Segura was appointed by President Obama to serve on the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations working with U.S. Trade Ambassador Ronald Kirk. He was also appointed in late 2010 by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke to serve on the National Advisory Council on Minority Business Enterprise.
Segura holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from the University of Michigan.
