NORCROSS, Ga., Dec. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Koning Corporation has announced the addition of Angélica Fuentes to their Board of Directors. Angélica Fuentes is a Mexican American businesswoman and investor recognized by Forbes Magazine as one of Mexico's most powerful women. Throughout her career, Ms. Fuentes has sustained a strong commitment to organizations supporting the cause of women.

"Angélica's platform and work has always been about women's choice," says Lutao Ning, Koning CEO. "With her joining our board, we will give women everywhere the choice to avoid compression. We're taking a major step forward for women's health."

Koning has quickly been filling its 2023 pipeline, and with the addition of Angélica to the board, the company is primed to expand quickly across the country.
