Karen Brady. Early in her career she made some brave decisions and succeeded in a very tough environment. She also appears to manage family and work life, making a success of both.
WM – If you were an item in a cash and carry, what would you be?
McCain Menu Signatures Gastro Chips. I know that any chef choosing these would put me on an amazing plate of food.

Get involved with food earlier in my career. I have always loved cooking and would have enjoyed studying something like food science to be able to relate it to my work today.
