The press release reads: “Gen has been immersed in the automotive world largely through business, having grown up in a company that is involved in the automotive aftermarket industry. Through this, her experience extends from business development and collaborations with car manufacturers, PR and communications, media relations, and, of course, her work as a motoring journalist.”
The WWCOTY aims to recognize the best automobiles each year “while also giving a voice to women in the automotive world.” Recently, WWCOTY awarded the Ford Ranger as the best 4x4 and pickup. In previous years, it also granted the Land Rover Defender and the Mazda 3 with the ‘Supreme Winner’ title.
