1. What was your first job?

My first job was as a Saturday girl in a barbers at the age of 14 - and I haven't stopped working since. 

2. What was your first company car?

My first company car was a Peugeot 508.

3. What did you listen to on your last car journey?

I usually have my iPod on shuffle so it could be anything from house music to Motown to Dolly Parton or Frank Ocean. The new XX album is always a favourite when I have a long drive.

4. What one thing do you wish you could do better?

I wish I found it easier to say "no" to people.

5. What's your biggest achievement?

Being able to say I was part of the Infiniti brand at such an exciting stage. Being responsible for introducing the new Q50 to the fleet market is an honour. The D-segment market is dominated by the German brands so launching a real alternative is certainly causing a stir.

6. Who are your role models?

My family have always been my role models. My parents have instilled in me a great work ethic; my brothers, being military, have influenced my 'Just do it, whatever it takes' attitude, which helps me every day. On a professional basis, I admire Karren Brady and all she has achieved. She is a great role model for the young professional woman - proving that you can succeed, even in a typically 'man's' world.

7. What's the stupidest thing you've done?

After a business meeting in Paris recently I left my passport on the plane when coming home. It took an hour of interrogation by some very burly security personnel before I was let back into the country!
