Let’s start with what everyone knows.
Everyone knows about the great work that Uli Diaz does as a SVP of government and community affairs at Horizon. The highly respected lobbyist represents Horizon before
the Legislature, state departments and agencies, the state’s federal delegation.
With so much going on in health care, there’s plenty to keep him busy. He represents his clients and the issues as well as anyone in Trenton, where he’s been an influencer for years.

Everyone knows about the great work Diaz does on the community front. It starts with the Horizon foundation, but it extends to so many other areas — especially in the Hispanic community.
A board member at the Statewide Hispanic Chamber of New Jersey, Diaz offers his insights on key issues — and uses his network of influencers to ensure that issues involving the community at all levels and interests get the assistance they need.
Everyone knows Diaz.
This is what truly separates him from others in the state, one
insider said.
“Uli knows everyone, and everyone knows Uli,” the person said. “More than that, they know he is a straight shooter. You take meetings with Uli because you know you are going to come away from them wiser than you were when you went in.”
That’s why everyone needs to know this: Uli Diaz, for his depth
of service to Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of N.J., the Hispanic community and the greater good of the state, was the perfect selection to be No. 1 on the inaugural BINJE’S Best: Hispanic Business Leaders list.
