Cristina Domecq
Age: 29
Company: SpinVox
Spanish-born Domecq exploited a simple idea – turning voicemails into texts. Through a distribution deal with Carphone Warehouse, The Link and 3, SpinVox now has 120,000 users, with six languages now available. It’s Domecq’s third business and she has raised £25m in investment, while holding onto a majority share. SpinVox is expected to float on the LSE in 2007 and has aggressive overseas growth plans.
