​The inspirational women celebrated in this category have not only served their respective industries well over the span of their remarkable careers, but have left, and oftentimes are still leaving, a legacy of purposeful achievement. In 2012, Jaguar is also celebrating a legacy of achievement: 77 years of designing and building cars that celebrate the art of automobile making.  Sir William Lyons, founder of the Jaguar brand, once said that a car “was the closest thing we can create to something that is alive”, a sentiment that has stood the test of time.

With an eye on the future, Jaguar will continue to innovate and set the benchmark, not only in automotive design, but in luxury premium automotive excellence.
