Mr. Jimenez was recruited to Prudential from Transamerica Corporation in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he spent 2008 to 2015, beginning as a senior project manager in system integration and subsequently as a Solvency II global implementation manager and Latin America program manager, managing all business and technology initiatives within the region. During his tenure with the organization, Mr. Jimenez participated in an international team that developed the infrastructure necessary to demonstrate the company’s solvency to regulators under the Solvency II program.

Mr. Jimenez’s career began in 1993, when he served four years in the U.S. Marine Corps, attaining the rank of corporal and working as a supply technician. During his military tenure, he was introduced to technology through his work with an electronics maintenance company, building and repairing computers and fixing radios, which sparked his enduring interest and ultimately led him toward a career as a software engineer.
Becoming highly educated, Mr. Jimenez received a Bachelor of Science in computer science from LeTourneau University in Longview, Texas, in 2000, and a Master of Business Administration and Management from Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida, in 2004.
