Podcast: Luis Suarez — You Won't Be Replaced by AI, but by Someone Using It

In this episode, we sit down with Luis Suarez, Chief Technology Officer of H.I.G. Capital, one of the world's largest alternative investment firms managing over $74 billion in assets. Luis has spent nearly two decades leading technology strategy and operations across H.I.G.'s global platform, with a mandate that goes beyond internal IT — he walks into every company the firm acquires and evaluates the tech team from the inside. A lifelong technologist who started with a Commodore 64, Luis has navigated every major shift in enterprise technology, from the internet era and cloud migration to the pandemic-driven remote-work transformation and now the GenAI explosion. At H.I.G., he oversees not only the firm's own technology infrastructure, but also supports over 120 portfolio companies across industries ranging from healthcare to manufacturing on their AI enablement journeys. We dive into the three qualities Luis looks for in every hire that cannot be taught, why he believes patience is a superpower in the hiring process, and how H.I.G. is using a top-down AI enablement strategy to prepare its workforce for the decade ahead.
