On describing her journey towards financial management, Expansion states that Iglesias is aware that there are “still” very few women CFOs in Mexico, but is certain that this situation will change.

“Take my own example. I wanted this role and I wanted to be the best-prepared candidate for it. I focused on taking advantage of these experiences throughout my career.
