To give status in Thai company

Dear Thai experts!

In my company here in Denmark I'm working on a IT project with our subsidiary in Thailand. Here we have found one of the employees to be a very quick learner and her understanding for the project is so good that we want to use her in a more central role in the project. Not directly as a manager, but sort of a project coordinating role on the user side, or we could call it "lead super user".

The issue is that this user is a female and she is only 22 years old.

My question is therefore, how can we give her the status so that the other users will respect her and listen to her, even though they are much older than her? With my knowledge about the Thai culture, this is not a very easy task, but would it be enough to give her the right title and make her i.e. refer directly to the local CFO (the project sponsor/owner in Thailand)?
