of the company’s activity as a good employer and neighbour. Prior to joining
Auckland Airport Anna made a significant impact on people practices, health
and safety, communications and company culture in some of New Zealand's
leading organisations including Fonterra, Air New Zealand, Refining NZ and

leading the safe and secure operation of the airport on a day-to-day basis. I
am particularly thrilled to have the opportunity to work with and inspire a
talented team to deliver the best possible customer experience during a period
of significant investment and change.”
