Kiria McNamara is one of the 2024 BOSS Young Executives. She was told she would have trouble getting the marks to get into her chosen university course.
Kiria McNamara grew up in Luton, about 55 kilometres north of London in the United Kingdom.
The youngest of four girls, McNamara, who is director of people and culture at vitamin company Swisse Wellness and who is today named one of the six BOSS Young Executives for this year, lived on a council housing estate, with not a lot of spare cash to hand.
