Then, in 1998, she was accredited by the Institute of Directors in London and continued her career at Cerrutti 1881 as deputy head of sales in the USA, followed by taking charge of international sales and finally head of international sales based in the group’s English subsidiary. She joined the Mulberry group in 2000 as brand manager before being named president in 2003.
