Xerox’s Julie Perez has a very interesting Hispanic Engineer magazine story to tell. “My father was on the cover in spring 1987,” she said proudly. Steve Perez was the highest-ranking Hispanic at Xerox/Rochester when he was featured in Hispanic Engineer’s Technology and Computers issue. Perez had 19 patents and helped to develop strategic research.
