From Austin, Texas, Krizel Rodriguez stands as a visionary leader, entrepreneur, and champion for women stepping into their power. As Founder and CEO of the Leading Lady Network, she has built a platform rooted in the belief that leadership has no shape, shade, or size.

​

Her greatest accomplishment is not only becoming a mother, but rebuilding her life after surviving a rare, life-threatening illness. What began as a personal fight for survival became the foundation for her mission to uplift and empower women everywhere.

​

Through her initiative, Reign and Shine: Guiding Women to Lead, Krizel equips women to own their visibility, embrace their influence, and create pathways for others to rise. Her personal motto reflects that calling: to lead with purpose, shine with confidence, and reign authentically.

​

She enjoys watching Chicago Cubs baseball, collecting gnomes, and reading self-improvement books, balancing leadership with lighthearted joy. Her signature color, pink, reflects both her femininity and fearless presence.

​

Guided by her grandmother’s voice to remain gracious, humble, and strong, Krizel believes women in their forties are not slowing down, but stepping fully into clarity and confidence. She now gives herself the luxury of rest, space, and the freedom to say no without apology.

​

As the 2026 Grand Sovereign Ms., Krizel Rodriguez represents bold leadership, resilience, and the radiant authority of a woman fully walking in her purpose.
