This year, nine alumnae of different ITAM programs made the Forbes magazine list of the 100th most powerful women in Mexico in 2024. Forbes Mexico recognizes in this list the work of all those that stand out and influence their areas, paving the way for next generations and demonstrating that, despite the many challenges, everything is possible.
It is with great pride that we extend our congratulations to each of them. The women in this list are role models for following generations; with their example and success histories, they inspire everyone else.
Directors, activists, artists and athletes who are part of Forbes Mexico's list of the 100 most powerful women in Mexico in 2024 raise their voices to different petitions for the fight against issues such as machismo, attention to violence and insecurity experienced by women, the fight for women's rights, special attention to single mothers, and the opening of job opportunities for women. In addition, they emphasize the lack of proposals on climate change with a gender perspective, as well as circular proposals.

Olimpia Coral, one of the women in this list, points out that:
"A woman's body does not mean a feminist conscience and a woman's body does not mean a gender conscience either. We need to be grounded to not only listen to the voices, but to understand our the historical, political, philosophical and democratic existence; because we are more women who vote, we are more women who really change this vision of the country.”
Congratulations to our alumnae for this achievement and for being an example of inspiration and leadership to everyone!
