Beyond his accomplishments in athletics, Carlos de Anda Dominguez had an admirable work career. At a young age he took an interest in mathematics and studied accounting. Wanting to have a university degree in math (a degree that didn’t exist in Mexico at that time), he formed the Mexican Mathematics Foundation and became one of the first seven people in the country to earn a degree in Mathematics. Still in love with numbers, later in life he became General Director of La Nacional Compañía de Seguros, S.A, and in 1951 he started his own insurance company, Seguros La Colonial in the city of Chihuahua, which in 1959 by the President of Mexico, Adolfo López Mateos became La Aseguradora Hidalgo, S.A., one of the largest insurance companies in the country, and the only government owned insurance company in México. When he retired, he dedicated his time to write about his great grandmother, Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, an influential woman in Mexico's history who was married to a powerful governor of the state of Querétaro. She, along with most of the leaders of the Mexican Revolution collaborated in the planning and execution of the Mexican Independence movement, which resulted in Mexico’s independence from Spain on September 16, 1810. Her name is in the books as one of the most influential female politicians in the history of the country.
