Anyone else think 'Civil Servant Sue Gray' needs a better description?

A week ago, I'd never heard of Sue Gray.

Now - every second sentence on the news seems to reference 'Sue Gray will sort it, Sue Gray is investigating, Sue Gray is very experienced, Sue Gray will save the world.

She must clearly be an extremely senior, qualified person to be given this task, yet just referencing her as 'Sue Gray' doesn't seem deferential enough at all.

So hello, Sue Gray if you're reading this!

Do you have a title?

Do you introduce yourself as, "hello, I'm civil servant, Sue Gray", here's a selfie of me in the garden"

Do you feel like a man would be referenced differently, maybe, Senior Civil Servant and Investigator, Colin Brown?

Sue Gray. Sue Gray. Sue Gray. AIBU to think:

Come on news, give the woman the gravitas she maybe deserves.

I like it. She doesn't need a whole lot of waffle. She's her. Long job titles always suggest a very narrow skill set. She just does what needs doing.
