Forbes en Español, the first economic and business information platform aimed at the 600 million Spanish-speakers around the world, is set to hold the Women’s Summit on Tuesday, June 27 in Mexico City. This event, sponsored by Forbes magazine, is an important space to talk about gender inequality in the region, where by 2030 there will be about 354.6 million women, according to figures from the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (Cepal) published by Forbes.
This will be the first edition of the Forbes en Español Women’s Summit, which will take place more than 10 years after Forbes Mexico published the first list “The 100 Most Powerful Women.” The summit, which is being presented as a way to raise the discussion of the major issues that permeate the gender agenda inside and outside these Latin American countries, is expected to bring together businesswomen, leaders of the public and private sectors, as well as representatives of international organizations and activists from various industries.
Forbes en Español is committed to trigger a profound change in gender equality in business, economics and socio-cultural spheres, revealing the continued underrepresentation of women in these countries. To help spearhead this change, Forbes en Español has convened the first Women’s Summit in Mexico, attracting women who purposefully analyze the pending issues of gender equality, women who transform entire industries and who challenge the status quo and innovate in areas historically dominated by men.
The Summit will feature a variety of speakers, including Altagracia Gómez, president of the Western Business Promoter Council (PEO), which brings together Mexican companies such as Minsa and Dina, and Cintya Añaños, general manager of Industrias San Miguel, a benchmark company in the food and beverages industry in Peru and Chile.
The summit will also feature Rosario Bazán, founder and CEO of Danper, a Peruvian company that is a benchmark in the region’s agro-industrial sector and that is heading into its first 30 years of life, Indira Lorenzo, director of sustainability of the Martí business group and director of the Tropigas Foundation, which belongs to the firm dedicated to the distribution of gas in the Dominican Republic, Natalia De Greiff, IBM VP for the Americas, Natalia Aguirre Gómez, general legal director of Citibanamex, Ignacia Antonia, content creator, actress and entrepreneur of Chilean origin, Claudia Benavides, global leader of the Baker McKenzie Dispute Resolution Group in Colombia, and Cecilia Canepa, associate of the Peruvian firm Rodrigo, Elías & Medrano Abogados. At the end of the event, the participation (remotely) of Christine D’ordano, global vice president of Sisley Paris, the high-end cosmetics firm, is scheduled.
Forbes en Español is committed to continuing its mission by convening powerful women from different industries to speak about various issues pertinent to women in business. Forbes en Español is committed to highlighting the power of women in the world of business and aims to continue this tradition of supporting women’s empowerment in the years to come.
