Dr. Hector de Jesús Ruiz was in Eagle Pass on Tuesday promoting his latest endeavor, Slingshot: AMD’s Fight To Free An Industry From The Ruthless Grip Of Intel, as members of the Eagle Pass Library Foundation, friends, classmates and admirers of the current CEO of Advanced Nanotechnology Solutions listened intently and even got the opportunity to pick the brain of one of the 1964 Tri-Valedictorians of Eagle Pass High School.

"I'd like to focus on three key topics included in my book, the first being the concept of fair competition," stated Ruiz after being introduced by David Castañeda, "If you really want to have innovation in your business fair competition is essential.  Unfair competition stifles innovation," he began.

The next issue he tackled was that of companies who set out to beat the competition which Ruiz says should be the furthest from a successful businessman's mind when embarking on the challenge of the hustle and bustle of high-stakes business.
