In the context of International Women's Day, five leaders of the company share their vision on gender equality in the workplace.

From their experiences in different areas of the industry, Diana Dulsan, Carolina Eito, Diana Leiva, Bruna Galdão and María Ángeles Graciani Cantisán, women leaders of Techint Engineering and Construction, reflect on the challenges that still persist and the keys to build more equitable workspaces, where talent and leadership are not conditioned by gender. Through their testimonies, they invite us to rethink how we can continue to promote a more inclusive future.

“The main axes required to achieve gender equality rely on professional development, mentoring for all employees, and an inclusive culture that values diversity and promotes mutual respect.”

Diana Dulsan, Country Sr. Manager Ecuador

“We have a long way ahead to keep growing, but we have to take advantage of how much we’ve evolved. So, let's do it, stand tall and tackle every challenge that comes our way head on.”

Carolina Eito, Commissioning & Start-Up Manager Corporate

“It is a matter of building spaces where our gender is not only respected, but where it is truly valued, where a woman’s professional future is not evaluated as a situation to be considered, but rather as a richness that is a plus, that empowers, that makes us all better.”

Diana Leiva, Legal Director North America

“As a leader, what I recommend to women is to have courageous and gentle leadership, to be firm and take a stand.”

Bruna Galdão, Legal Manager Brazil

“Developing confidence and believing in one's own abilities is essential. Don't hesitate to share your ideas, invest in training and surround yourself with good professionals.”
