Flor Sosa is a whirlwind of innovation and resilience. With an academic background that includes studies in Argentina, a Master's in Finance, and a Women's Leadership Program at Yale under the mentorship of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign advisors, she has extended her influence to countries like Mexico, Brazil, and the United States. Her projects, blending social impact, technology, and sustainability, serve as a beacon of inspiration for many.

Sosa is no stranger to the challenges women face in leadership. "Women are often perceived differently when they exhibit traits of strength and leadership," she notes. This double standard can limit opportunities and undermine confidence. However, Flor has turned these barriers into opportunities to demonstrate her capability and resilience.

Florencia has navigated turbulent waters, facing prejudice and doubt, especially when assuming leadership roles at a young age. Today, she is recognized as an influential voice, being the first female director of the Economic Federation of her province and a prominent representative of the Argentine Chamber of Medium Enterprises (CAME). "Success as a female business leader is possible. We must not be intimidated by gender stereotypes," emphasizes Sosa.

"Technology is a powerful ally for any entrepreneur," Sosa asserts. This philosophy has led her to adopt and promote technological tools that amplify her efficiency and reach. Flor advises not to fear the unknown and to surround oneself with specialists who can help integrate technology into business effectively.

Florencia emphasizes that having a deep understanding of glass ceilings and gender statistics can equip women with the tools necessary to advocate for significant changes. "Working with data and knowing the indicators is essential," she says. For Sosa, information is power. Access to accurate and up-to-date data on the gender gap and the challenges women face in the workplace can help design more effective strategies to overcome these barriers.

Her distinction as an Ambassador of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2023 testifies to her ability to create sustainable and innovative businesses. Her startup, Andina, is a clear example. This social enterprise empowers weavers in the Argentine Puna, providing economic sustenance and preserving cultural heritage. "Innovation is not just about having a brilliant idea but about implementing it sustainably," explains Sosa. Andina combines technology and tradition, using blockchain to ensure transparency and traceability in the supply chain of vicuna wool garments, benefiting over 100 families.

Besides Andina, Florencia is working on a new project that bridges the paths of artificial intelligence and mental health. This venture aims to offer accessible and effective tools for emotional well-being, once again demonstrating her commitment to innovation and social impact.

Her recent participation in the General Sessions of the UN General Assembly 2024 and the 68th Commission on the Status of Women in New York, as well as in the Extraordinary Session of the Organization of American States (OAS) with the presence of Political Ambassadors of member countries in Washington DC, exemplifies her commitment to continuous learning and adaptation to new challenges.

Flor also emphasizes the importance of strengthening skills such as communication, decision-making, problem-solving, and team management. Additionally, she recommends being resilient and making oneself visible. "In my early years as a CEO, entering a meeting at 25 years old, I was asked to serve coffee, they thought I was the secretary. Women have the double duty of developing as professionals and being resilient in the face of obstacles and the gender gap present at various career stages," says Sosa.

One of the strategies Flor recommends is staying informed and knowing the statistics and figures of glass ceilings. "Working with information and data is essential. It's not just about knowing influential people and advocating but having tools that highlight the negative impact of the gender gap on our careers."

Florencia highlights the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2023, which notes that Latin America and the Caribbean have closed nearly 75% of their gender gap, reaching 74.3% parity and ranking third globally. Despite these advances, she underscores that at the current pace, the region will need another 53 years to achieve full gender parity. This delay, says Sosa, is not just a statistical figure; it reflects ongoing challenges such as unequal access to education, limited economic opportunities, and entrenched cultural norms that continue to hinder the full participation of women in society. Addressing these issues requires concerted efforts in policy reform, education, and cultural change to accelerate the path towards true gender equality.

With over 250,000 followers on Instagram (@florsosadd), Flor Sosa continues to share her journey and encourage women to invest in their continuous education. "Constant training allows us to be more competitive and offer innovative solutions in a constantly evolving business environment," she concludes. Her comprehensive approach, combining passion, innovation, technology, and gender-focused leadership, has made her a source of inspiration for many women aspiring to lead with strength and determination.
