Here's another one that fills the bill:

Ms Singh will also be responsible, as Group CEO Retail, for seeking and assessing further retail growth opportunities.

Brilliant - so this automatically means that because she's a woman, that is the entire reason for her success, and that nobody else of any other persuasion could do as well?
You do see where I'm going, don't you? Despite all the accusations flung my way, I'm the one saying it makes not one iota of difference who it is - as long as it works for the company.. but then, that's what happens when you are forced to discuss realities with ideologues.
She's done well, but it's not a lone wolf effort by any stretch of the imagination and involves a massive input from many people... and besides, the broad canvas on which she paints was built by men anyway.
I guess far too many of you are locked into the demagogue concept... the Fuhrerprinzip.. that dictates to small minds that the titular head is the creator of all success.... and The Team has nothing to do with it.... that's why fools often vote for parties.. on a cult of personality.....
No wonder we're lagging so far behind reality as a country.....
