Fonterra has announced Anna Palairet is the new chief operating officer, having acted in the role since June 2023.
CEO Miles Hurrell said Palairet has valuable expertise and a strong relationship focus, which have – and will – “serve her well” in leading a critical part of the co-operative.
“Anna has extensive experience in operational, customer, sustainability, and sales roles. She spent more than a decade in senior leadership roles at Air New Zealand before joining Fonterra in October 2022 as director of global supply chain and she is the current chair of global logistics provider Kotahi GP.
“I thank Anna for her leadership to date and look forward to her ongoing contribution to the Fonterra management team,” Hurrell said.
