Martha Lane Fox, or Baroness Lane-Fox of Soho to give her proper title, is renowned as one of Britain's biggest early internet entrepreneurs, having co-founded Lastminute.com at the age of 25.

In 2004, when she was about to start a new role as the boss of Selfridges after having left her business, Martha was involved in a devastating car crash while on holiday in Morocco. 

Remarkably, as well as recovering from this near-fatal crash, Martha continued her rise to the top of the business world. Today, she is on the board of Twitter,  she is the co-founder and chairman of karaoke firm Lucky Voice,  and she also chairs tech startup WeTransfer.

Away from business, Martha became the youngest female member of the House of Lords in 2013, and she is also today the chancellor of the Open University.
