Hernandez joined Crowley's predecessor company CCT in Honduras in 1982. Her entire career has been with Crowley where she has held various positions of increasing responsibility in sales, documentation and freight services. Prior to her promotion, she served as manager of terminal operations in Honduras.
'Azucena's leadership approach has always strongly embraced Crowley's core values in getting the job done,' said Hourihan. 'In her 20-plus years, she has proven herself time and time again to be an asset to the company and a player in the growth of our Latin America service.'
