Our founders

Meet Jacqueline Samira and Frank Licea, the leaders behind Howdy's success.

Our history

Howdy.com was born in 2018, at the height of the tech boom and in the midst of a talent shortage in Austin, Texas. Since then, and under the premise that there is good talent around the world, we have connected professionals from Latin America with hundreds of companies in the United States.

We believe that people should be at the centre of everything. That is why we focus on the sustained growth of each individual, designing career plans and building a solid community that provides support and containment, where skills, language and above all, a common vision and values are shared.

Today, Howdy.com is valued at more than $100 million and has become one of the fastest growing private companies in the United States, as well as the fourth fastest growing company in the Central Texas district.

A vision for the entire region

Jacqueline Samira creates Howdy with 5 people and 1 client but with a very clear idea: to connect the best talent in Latin America with great companies in the United States.

We're not just another technology company.

We are not just another technology company. We don't build teams on a per-project basis. We seek to build long-term relationships, and we strive to achieve the perfect match between Latin American talent and large US companies.

Our motto: people
first

The mentoring team focuses on the well-being of each person, from entry to follow-up in their career plan. In addition, they help you in the client relationship, giving you mentoring and accompaniment from your home country.

Our investors

These companies play a key role in driving us to bring our vision to life.
