Who is Keyling Fernandez

Keyling Fernandez

Successful Young Business Woman

      I am happy to share her story as 2021 is approaching. I've put together a few of the different biographies that I found on the internet, along with post from news papers, magazines, social media and testimonies of people who know her personally.  This young woman is one of a kind with her charisma, her simplicity and of course her beautiful face Keyling Fernández ("Kay") was born in Venezuela, 28 years ago. 

At  the age of 5, she was chosen to be the face of a commercial sharing the scene with Miss Venezuela. At that time, she was just a child. Her true modeling career began at 16, when she was "discovered" at a Starbucks in California, United States. She was invited to work as a model by a famous American stylists "Rowena & Takashi" who were also part of the Vidal Sasoon brand,  invited her into their runways and campaigns which also included demanding designers from England. That is how, even as a teenager, she showed that her height (5'7) was not going to stop her from imposing style and personality in those catwalks. 

Keyling has been represented by agencies such as NEXT, Model Zone and One Model Management; The latter being the one who introduced this beautiful Venezuelan to the modeling market in Hong Kong and Singapore, representing brands such as Studio F, Guess, Sears, etc. She has modeled haute couture garments from excellent designers such as the well known Hector Terrones and Alexia Ulibarri. She has also appeared on videoclips from singer's like Daddy Yankee, Belinda and Sebastian Martingaste. 

She decided to quit from her modeling career after the birth of her first child to give way to a new stage in her life as a business woman through her construction company, acquiring clients such as L'Oreal, La Costeña, Fiesta Inn, Continental, among others; positioning herself as a competitive entrepreneur in a market that has typically been mostly dominated by men. Later, she ventured as an investor in the start-up sector through an E-commerce in Mexico.

It would be good to say that she stopped modeling but she couldn't run away from becoming an influencer on social media.

 " She is the type of person that don't need to try hard, she just works her magic and people like her" said her former manager.

Between creating content and promoting their projects, it's surprising that many celebrities have a moment to do anything else at all!. Despite their busy schedule, many influencers have created their own projects and have become successful entrepreneurs along the way.

She is also known for creating a non-profit organization called “Los Niños de Key” (Kay's Children), which aims to support low-income children and pregnant women.

Despite the challenges that life has given her, she has established herself as a visionary entrepreneur, knowing how to take advantage of the opportunities that have been presented to her. 

I strongly admire those who have found their calling and I'm amazed at their strength to dedicate themselves to what they like to do in addition to their main job. Such is the case of Keyling who at her young age, has achieved success and recognition as an entrepreneur by creating businesses in the construction, recycling and commodity sector. It is a source of pride for Latin American countries and especially for Mexico that every day there are more women who are leading successful projects and who are a source of inspiration to others.
