SAN ANTONIO, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Veronica Muzquiz Edwards, founder and CEO of InGenesis, has again been

Analysts (SIA). This is the second consecutive year Edwards has been
included in this roster which recognizes the significant contributions
of 100 of the most influential women within the workforce solutions
industry.
“I am honored to receive this recognition and to be among an impressive
group of industry leaders from around the world,” said Edwards. “I hope
our accomplishments inspire more women to break barriers and take on
leadership roles in the staffing industry and other industries, as well.
This recognition means we have a collective responsibility to influence
positive changes in our industry, provide motivation, and remind women
they have more opportunities at their reach.”

minority leadership through business internship and mentoring programs.
Diversity inclusion is an essential part of building a stronger, more
competitive business environment and contributing to the total health of
our communities.

Hispanic Businesswoman of the Year, listed as one of the top 50 most
influential Hispanic business leaders in the country, named to the
roster of top 100 middle market CEOs, and selected as one of America’s
Top 10 Female Entrepreneurs. In 2016, Edwards was invited by the

International Standards Organization (ISO) criteria for quality
management in healthcare recruitment and workforce planning.
Ms. Edwards believes in the pursuit of higher education and community
