FACE BEHIND THE NAME

Diana has one of the more...








...interesting surnames among colleagues in the BMW ORACLE Racing team -- it's Diana Puketapu -- which not only is fun to say (pooh ke TAH pooh), but must be Maori or Polynesian, or something, for "nice smile." Diana is our hard-working CFO, and certainly one of the more popular people on the team, and not just because she handles our expense accounts!



P.S. Diana says, "For the record, my surname means 'sacred hill' in Maori; puke = hill and tapu = sacred." She says it can also mean "mountain that cannot be climbed" -- hmmm, think we will leave it at that. ;)
