Book IWD Speaker: Sandra Caballero

Women, work & power: Uncovering hidden systems that shape who gets to lead, advance & thrive

Sandra Caballero is a gender equality strategist and speaker with 18 years of experience working across international cooperation, consulting and complex technical sectors, including energy, climate and sustainable mobility.

Her work focuses on the often-invisible systems that shape women’s careers, leadership opportunities, visibility and access to power — particularly in male-dominated environments.

Her talks explore the intersections that traditional conversations about women at work often miss: gender, organizational culture, neurodiversity, career trajectories, power, decision-making and the unwritten rules that influence who advances and who gets left behind.

Drawing on real-world experience leading complex projects and working with diverse institutions across Latin America, Sandra translates these issues into practical insights rather than abstract inclusion language.

Audiences gain a sharper understanding of the barriers women encounter in technical and traditionally male-dominated spaces, how different ways of thinking and working can become professional strengths, and what individuals and organizations can do to create more equitable paths to leadership, influence and meaningful career growth.
