Juan Gaytan, Jr., president and CEO of Monterrey Security, has been recognized as one of the most prominent leaders in Chicago’s Hispanic community at a special reception hosted by Fifth Third Bank Chicago in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. Gaytan, along with two other leaders, Tsi-Tsi-Ki Felix and Maria Pesqueira, have received a crystal award and a $5,300 scholarship in their name that has been awarded to an area high school student.  “It’s an honor to be personally recognized as a community leader alongside two other notable figures within the Hispanic community,” said Juan Gaytan, Jr., president of Monterrey Security. “I am grateful to receive this acknowledgment and can only hope to practice this leadership for many more years to come.”

 Gaytan has been identified for his devotion to helping the Hispanic community and his success with private protection and security services through his company, Monterrey Security. Monterrey was also recently recognized by Hispanic Business magazine as one of the Fastest Growing Hispanic Businesses in the United States.  “We are delighted to take time during Hispanic Heritage Month to celebrate the community, its history, culture and people and to honor Tsi-Tsi-Ki, Juan and Maria with namesake scholarships to help pay it forward in their spirit and legacy,” said Robert A. Sullivan, president and CEO of Fifth Third Bank Chicago.
