Assigned Parking

One benefit received by the executives of Trimball Corporation is assigned parking in the garage. Six desirable spaces near the entrance to the lot (lettered A to F from most to least coveted) are reserved for the heads of the engineering, finance, information, marketing, operations, and sales divisions, whose names are Mr. Gray, Ms. Harp, Mr. Poe, Ms. Rottman, Ms. Warren, and Mr. Zenani. Can you match each space with the name and division of the executive who parks there?

1. Ms. Harp, Mr. Zenani, and the executive from sales are assigned consecutive spaces in order from most to least desirable.
2. The head of marketing (who isn’t Mr. Poe) doesn’t park in space E.
3. Of the three women, the one with the best parking spot (though not space A) is the operations manager.
4. Mr. Gray parks in space D.
5. The finance division’s head has a better spot than Ms. Rottman, who consoles herself with the thought that her spot is still better than that of the executive from the information division.
