What book are you currently reading?
Donna Tartt ‘The Goldfinch’ which won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize.
When I turned 50 this spring a friend gave me “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt. I liked it so much that I wanted to read more of her.
Which work tool do you appreciate the most in your office?
My co-workers.
As a child, what did you want to become when you grew up?
I wanted to become a maths teacher, and I did too.
What is your hidden talent?
I am quite a good photographer.
How do you share work at home?
My husband and I share quite equally. When we met we were both government ministers, so we have always worked a lot and had important jobs. It has always been a struggle, but the result has been pretty good.
