Each year, the USHCC recognizes a male entrepreneur whose outstanding leadership, pioneering spirit, social and economic contributions exemplify the best of America's business community.
"We are proud to recognize Henry, an iconic American business leader and an outstanding young role model for our community. As the co-founder & CEO of one of the fastest growing information technology firms in the country, Henry has continually transformed his company during rapid changes in technology. He has brought innovative solutions to UDT's many clients, growing the company exponentially since the mid-90s to what it is today," said USHCC President & CEO Javier Palomarez. "The success of UDT is a testament to Henry's ability, resourcefulness, and vision.

Among UDT's clients are Miami-Dade County Public Schools, which is the third largest district in the nation; the State of Florida; Ryder Systems; and Autonation.
