pero no necesariamente en puestos de
dirección de presidencia.
Hay muchas mujeres en diferentes
direcciones y gerencias, sin embargo,
había que romper un techo de cristal que
se estaba generando en temas de presidir
juntas directivas de esta índole. Así que es
una responsabilidad importante de hacerlo
y hacerlo bien, para que otras tengan la
misma oportunidad.
La otra realidad es que no lo busqué,
sino que fui recomendada al presidente de
Costa Rica, con quien hablé sobre su plan
de gobierno que, para mí, si no congeniaba
con mis principios y valores, no me hubiera
interesado.
Y también era importante la parte
económica, porque había trabajado muchos
años en todo el tema de OCDE, de los
tratados de libre comercio con China,
Unión Europea y si él tenía planes de traer
proteccionismo, yo no iba a estar muy
contenta, no sería compatible.
positions; however, we had to break a
glass ceiling imposed in terms of presiding
over boards of directors of this nature.
Therefore, it is an important responsibility
to do it and do it well so that others have
the same opportunity.
Actually, I did not look for it; instead,
I was recommended to the president
of Costa Rica. We talked about his
government plan, and I would not have
been interested in it unless it was in line
with my principles and values.
The economic side was also important
because I had worked for many years on
the whole issue of the OECD and the
free trade agreements with China and the
European Union. I would not have been
very pleased if he had had plans to bring
protectionism. That would not have been
compatible with my principles.
After several days of meetings, he
decided to appoint me as the first female
CEO of the INS. This position is very
political and draws much attention because
of the company’s economic impact.
