The 2025 edition of Business Magazin went beyond listing accomplishments. It invited each woman featured to express her ambitions and values through a personal “vision board” alongside a reflective interview that explored core motivations, leadership journey, and defining inspirations.
Imagine a turquoise bay nestled between rugged cliffs. At first glance, the rocks seem barren and lifeless, but hidden beneath them, tree roots reach into an underground spring that discreetly feeds the bay. Coral and marine life flourish below the surface. For me, this bay symbolizes inner peace and the clarity that guides me. It’s a reminder that resilience and beauty often grow where we least expect them.
Gratitude – every day. Maintaining my physical, mental, and emotional health. Above all, staying true to my values and ensuring every decision leaves me with a clean conscience.
The belief that every day is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do good. I don’t chase a singular goal or follow a single role model. Instead, I’ve made a personal pact to live consciously and leave a trace of kindness wherever I go.

Carmen is not only a technologist but also a mentor, an advocate for female-founded businesses, and a creator at heart. Through initiatives like Bridging Gaps and Bravva Angels, she uplifts communities and promotes inclusion in tech. Outside of work, she enjoys writing, painting, and spending time with her family and dogs.
I enjoy reading, writing, painting, mentoring, and spending time with my husband, our dogs, family, and friends.
When I need peace, I turn to my senior dog. When I need clarity, I talk with my husband. When I’m overflowing with ideas, I write. When I need more ideas, I read.
The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. It encapsulates my values and beliefs better than any book I’ve read. It’s an extraordinary work on leadership, psychology, and applied philosophy.
Carmen draws from Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive not only for inspiration but also for personal guidance. Her favorite quote, from the character Wit (Hoid), echoes her ethos:
The question isn’t whether you will love, suffer, dream, or die. It’s what you will love, why you will suffer, when you will dream, and how you will die. That is the choice you get to make. You cannot choose the destination, only the path.”
At rinf.tech, we are proud to walk this path alongside Carmen. Her presence reminds us that technical leadership is not only about systems and code – it is about people, principles, and the power of vision. We are honored to have her shape our future.
Congratulations, Carmen, on this well-deserved recognition!
