Juanita Concha Rivera - Directora General Movamos Region
Episode 1
Thursday, 27 August, 2026

Episode 1 of the ninth season of Women Who Move Nations features a conversation on borderless mobility with Juanita Concha Rivera and host Michelle Batsas. Juanita, Director General of Movámos Región, southwestern Colombia's regional transport authority, shares hard-won lessons from nearly 20 years in transport — starting at TransMilenio in Bogotá — and explains why "mobility is the X-ray of society." She unpacks the challenge of building a brand-new institution from scratch, aligning five political bosses around one vision, championing women in technical transport roles, and why she believes infrastructure should shape how communities imagine their future. A candid, passionate conversation about leadership, trust, and borderless mobility.Proudly supported by NEC Smart Transport Solutions.
