Great answer! The interviewer will appreciate your enthusiasm about their company and the country lead position in particular. You might want to consider adding more details to your answer to make it more memorable. For example, the question specifically mentions the company's interest in "highly ambitious people." Consider adding a few sentences that emphasize how you are a driven person by nature and then give an example or two of times when you've shown how motivated you are. Also, offer an explanation of why you are so interested in the country lead position in particular.
