I am truly honoured to have made it into this prestigious top 50, especially with such a competitive field!

I feel very privileged to be recognised and would like to thank my amazing team for making my job as a leader an absolute joy. I couldn’t do it without them! Thanks to my husband for being my absolute rock and to my children for motivating and inspiring me every day to be the best version of myself. Many congratulations to my fellow top 50 leaders – keep up the great work!
