Genesis COO Claudia Marquez recognized as one of Latin America’s 500 Most Influential People by Bloomberg Línea

Genesis Motor North America chief operating officer, Claudia Marquez, was named one of Latin America’s 500 Most Influential People in 2024 by Bloomberg Línea for the third consecutive year.

“One of the most important factors in the phenomenal growth of the Genesis brand is the leadership of Claudia Marquez,” said José Muñoz, president & global COO of Hyundai Motor Company, and president & CEO of Genesis Motor North America. “Not only does Claudia personify the ‘honored guest’ philosophy with which we treat our customers, she motivates the team to do more than what they ever thought possible, which is evident in the growth and expansion of Genesis. We agree with Bloomberg Línea that Claudia is more than deserving of this prestigious honor.”

Bloomberg Línea’s fourth edition of the 500 Most Influential People of Latin America 2024 recognizes Latin American figures who have wielded significant impact not only regionally, but on a global scale. Each individual was carefully selected by the editorial committee after an extensive analysis of 20 different markets. Those featured in the list are recognized as leaders in various business sectors, ranging from the arts to finance, science, and sports.

Under Marquez’s leadership, Genesis has experienced rapid sales growth, retail expansion, and increased brand awareness. Most recently, the brand celebrated its best-ever first-half United States sales achievement with 31,821 units sold. In August, Genesis announced the opening of 21 new standalone facilities, now counting 56 such locations across the United States. Genesis also continues to elevate brand awareness through successful marketing campaigns and strategic sponsorships including title sponsorship of the PGA TOUR signature event, the Genesis Invitational.

With more than 29 years of automotive industry experience, Marquez has developed and implemented successful growth strategies for multiple premium automotive brands, including BMW and Infiniti. Prior to joining Genesis, Claudia served as the chief operating officer of Hyundai Motor Mexico where she increased sales, strengthened dealer relations, and grew brand awareness.
