Latin America has made significant progress in gender equality; however, there are still opportunities to strengthen female participation in leadership roles, especially in technical and industrial sectors. According to the World Economic Forum, in 2024, women held 36.4% of senior leadership positions in the region. This data underscores the importance of continuing to promote policies and actions that foster equitable and sustained representation at all organizational levels.
In this context, the appointment of Luisa Gómez as Regional Director for Andean and Caribbean at Rockwell Automation marks a significant step toward greater female representation in the technology industry. She is the first woman to hold this position in Latin America within the company, a fact that is notable both for her professional profile and the structural context in which it takes place.
