The 2018 Digital Professional of the Year, Jana was a winner in the Irish Early Career Lincoln Recruitment Awards; the Lincoln Recruitment Awards recognises the outstanding achievements of emerging young professionals in Ireland, rewarding innovation and best practice across a broad range of professional sectors.
Des Cannon, Managing Director at Gowan Distributors, Peugeot Importer in Ireland, said: "Jana is a wonderful addition to the Peugeot team, bringing wide-based knowledge and strong commercial acumen. She joins us at a very exciting time, as the brand embarks on its electrification journey in 2020 with the introduction of our new range of electric and plug-in hybrid cars and vans. As such, her understanding of digital touchpoints will undoubtedly perfect our customers' online experience. We are very fortunate to find someone of this calibre to fulfil this role and I wish Jana much success here at Gowan Distributors."
