I'm thrilled for having the impact driven by my leadership and purpose recognised by an industry reference such as Campaign. This honour is not only a public testament to my vision but also the reflection of years of hard work, dedication and resilience - which now hopefully will inspire other professionals and female entrepreneurs."

"When I started my media career in 2005, I vividly remember coming to the office on my first day and seeing a copy of Campaign UK on my boss's desk. Reading it weekly, I was inspired by the campaigns and the people featured, and I often wondered if my work would ever grace those pages. Nearly 20 years later, I am both humbled and honored to be named in Campaign UK's 40 over 40. It is a huge privilege to be chosen alongside such talented people and recognised by a range of incredible judges from across the industry I love."

Thanks again for the recognition and kind words from the judges."
