Notonthehighstreet’s new boss brings a fresh perspective
Notonthehighstreet’s new chief executive Claire Davenport may be travelling from Oxford to Richmond, south-west London, for her new role, but in her spare time she is attempting a rather more ambitious commute.
The Cambridge graduate has pledged to run the 6,267-mile distance from Aberdeen to Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City in 500-mile-per-year increments.
It’s a target that Davenport, now 46, says she is on track to complete by her 57th year, and an example of the type of long-term vision and ambition which has characterised her career to date.
A Daventry native, Davenport’s first job was as a lifeguard at her local swimming pool but at 21 she landed her first full-time gig as an analyst for investment bank Goldman Sachs.
