Where she was the Executive Secretaryl[7] [8] for the Interamerican Commission for Women[9] and negotiated in the OAS General Assembly (Atlanta 1974) for the adoption of the International Women's Year 1975.During the government of Leon Febres Cordero Roca worked in the secretariat of the Vice Presidency under Blasco Peñaherrera.[10] During this period she worked with the First Lady María Eugenia Cordovez in the operation of the Instituto Nacional del Niño y la Familia (INNFA- National Institute for Family and Children) and the implementation of the Programa de Reducción de la Enfermedad Mortal Infantil (Premi).[11] In 1986 she was appointed as the first female General Intendent of Corporations [12] [13] in the Superintendence of Corporations.

During the presidential elections of 2002 and 2006[14] she led the electoral campaign for presidential candidate Leon Roldos. In 2007 she was a candidate for the Constitutional Assembly.[15] [16] [17] She was considered as a vice presidential candidate during the 2012 elections.[18] [19]

Academia

From 1978 to 1996 she was legal advisor to Academia Cotopaxi. In 1988 she became the representative of INCAE Instituto Centro Americano de Administración de Empresas for Ecuador.[20] [21] During her tenure as Executive Director for INCAE/ECUADOR, played a pivotal role in proposing the establishment of INCAE's Andean Campus as a component of the PROGRESEC (Policy Dialogue and Consensus Building)[22] project sponsored by USAID. Her vision aimed to enhance the project's impact and reach by creating a dedicated educational hub in the Andean region. However, this proposal was not embraced by INCAE, leading Roca to take a bold step forward.

Subsequently, she founded Fundación para el Desarrollo de la Cultura Empresarial[23] (Foundation for the Development of Corporate Culture), which in turn led to the operation of Escuela de Negocios del Pacífico and after approval by the Ecuadorian Congress was enacted into law as Universidad del Pacífico: Escuela de Negocios,[24] showcasing her determination and commitment to advancing educational opportunities and business development in the region. This initiative marked a significant milestone in Roca's career, demonstrating her leadership[25] and innovative approach to fostering academic and professional growth in Ecuador and beyond.

In 2020 Sonia Roca began Nuestro Oceano Pacifico[26] (Our Pacific Ocean) a movement to encourage understanding with regards to the rights and obligations that Ecuadorian citizens have with the Pacific Ocean [27] [28] which consists of a Maritime Citizens Council[29] [30] as well as a think tank.
