In this episode of Localization Fireside Chat, guest host Ceci Maldonado sits down with Natalia Rivero, CEO de Ecogas, to explore leadership, resilience, and what it takes to thrive in industries where women are still the minority. Natalia shares her personal journey from early beginnings to becoming the first woman to lead the company, outlining key lessons on preparation, perseverance, and staying true to oneself. This conversation goes beyond titles and corporate roles. We discuss the realities of balancing executive life with motherhood, maintaining continuous education, leading cultural transformation within a large organization, and making decisions in a highly regulated industry. Natalia reflects on the importance of self-belief, the power of discipline, and how support systems at work and at home shape success. A powerful, honest, and human conversation for women in leadership, young professionals, and anyone navigating growth, responsibility, and purpose. Natalia reminds us that preparation builds confidence, results come through teamwork, and that with will and effort, everything is possible.
