Driving the Future: Leadership, Challenges, and Industry Relevance

Join this on-stage interview with Marcela Barreiro who will share her perspective as a CEO in the trucking industry through a powerful conversation structured in three dimensions. Opening by reflecting on her personal and professional background, she will highlight how resilience, curiosity, and a commitment to excellence have shaped her leadership path. She will explore the challenges of being a woman in a high-level position, sharing key moments from her career journey and the tools that helped her navigate male-dominated environments — from strategic negotiation skills to building strong, values-driven teams. Finally, she will offer an insightful take on what it means to lead a company today: staying close to both people and performance, making decisions with agility, and constantly redefining relevance in an evolving industry. Marcela’s voice stands out for its authenticity and clarity: leadership is not about fitting in, but about shaping the space where others can thrive.
