However, her perseverance and personal and professional skills led her to become the first female president of a major trade association in her country and, later, a country leader at Walmart. These achievements are not only important for her, but also as an example for her daughter and other women, demonstrating that female leadership is essential in the business world.

As the leader of Walmart in El Salvador, Claudia is contributing to change in the business world by being a role model for other women. Her presence in the multinational corporation where more than 90% of the leaders are women and the appointment of Cristina Ronski as CEO of Walmart for Central America; being the first woman to hold this position, inspires more women to project themselves into executive positions. Aware of the importance of closing the gender gap, Claudia promotes inclusion and diversity programs at Walmart.

In addition, she advocates for equal education at home and in schools to break the gender stereotypes ingrained in society. For women who wish to enter the business world, Claudia offers valuable advice: seek mentoring, take advantage of available spaces, don't be afraid to share ideas and work towards your goals with a positive attitude and dialogue.

She also emphasizes the importance of continuing education and experience, remembering that perfection is achieved through learning from failures. Claudia Ibáñez is an inspiring example of how women can overcome obstacles and make their mark in the business world, contributing to economic growth and the advancement of society.
