For more than 16 years, Maryangel García-Ramos Guadiana has turned her voice into a powerful agent of change. Her cause: human rights, inclusion, and equity for people with disabilities—especially women. Her battlefield: congresses, universities, government agencies, international organizations, and boardrooms where she has driven policies and reforms that are changing lives.
A graduate of the EGADE MBA, Maryangel currently serves as Executive Director of Women Enabled International, an organization that promotes the rights of women and girls with disabilities around the world. She also chairs the State Council for Persons with Disabilities in Nuevo León.
Her career path is robust and far-reaching. She led the Diversity and Inclusion Office at the Center for the Recognition of Human Dignity at Tecnológico de Monterrey and founded the Mexican Women with Disabilities Movement, a platform that has contributed to raising awareness and pushing legislative reforms for equality.
Throughout her career, she has received multiple recognitions. She was honored with the Mujer Tec Award in 2019, named a 2022 AACSB Influential Leader, and listed as a Top Voice for Gender Equity by LinkedIn Mexico that same year. In 2025, her leadership was recognized globally with the Postgraduate Leadership Award at the AMBA & BGA Excellence Awards, highlighting her “incredible advocacy for diversity, inclusion, and the rights of people with disabilities.”
Upon receiving the AMBA & BGA award, Maryangel expressed her heartfelt gratitude:
“This is so powerful. My leadership is strong and exists because of all the women with disabilities around me. Thank you for recognizing me and putting the spotlight where it’s most needed right now: on the voices of leaders with disabilities. Thank you, EGADE, for placing me at the center of conversations around decision-making and impact. We will not stop resisting and working for rights and justice.”
Beyond the accolades, her true legacy lies in opening doors, challenging inertia, and envisioning a more just and inclusive future. Maryangel is not only part of a generation of impact-driven leaders—she embodies a kind of leadership that refuses to leave anyone behind.
