With 282 new additions, Bloomberg Línea presented its third edition of the 500 Most Influential People of Latin American 2023. Each individual was carefully selected by the editorial committee after an extensive analysis of 20 different markets. These chosen individuals are leaders in various sectors and have navigated a complex economic landscape traditionally characterized by high-interest rates and uncertainty.

Additionally, the list recognizes Latin American figures who wield significant influence—not only within the region, but on a global scale—in fields ranging from finance and the arts to science and sports.

"Claudia is one of the most influential executives in the automotive industry and I am pleased that she has received this recognition from Bloomberg Línea," said José Muñoz, president & global COO of Hyundai Motor Company, and president & CEO of Genesis Motor North America.

The brand also recently surpassed one million global vehicle sales.
