BEVERLY HILLS — The Board of Directors of the Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has named Camilo Suero as executive director of the chamber. In this role, Suero is responsible for representing the interests of the state’s 11,000 Hispanic owned businesses and management of day-to-day chamber operations.

In his most recent role at Ford, Suero assisted new and distressed suppliers implementing guidelines and recovery actions to successfully do business with OEMs.
Suero is well known in the local Hispanic community having served as president of the Detroit Chapter of the National Society of Hispanic MBA’s as well as an executive board member of Ford Hispanic Network.
