Prior to her business career, she worked in public relations and as a stylist. Cameron became a prominent public figure when her husband, David Cameron, became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (2010-2016), serving as First Lady during his tenure.

Cameron took an active interest in various charitable causes and public initiatives during her time as First Lady, particularly focusing on mental health awareness and animal welfare. Following her husband's departure from 10 Downing Street, Cameron stepped away from most public roles, focusing on her family and private business interests. She has occasionally resurfaced in public discourse regarding policy matters and charity work.
