Air New Zealand Board of Directors Appointment


Air New Zealand has appointed Laurissa Cooney to its Board of Directors.
Laurissa is of Te Āti Hau Nui a Pāpā Rangi (Whanganui) descent and is a professional independent Director
with several iwi affiliated entities as well as Chief Financial Officer for Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.
She has previously held senior auditing and consulting roles with Deloitte in New Zealand and Deloitte
Touche in London.
Air New Zealand Chairman Dame Therese Walsh says Laurissa will bring a strong regional tourism and iwi
perspective to the Board.
“Laurissa is a Director of Tourism Bay of Plenty and several iwi affiliated entities around New
Zealand. She will strengthen the Board with a new depth of perspective to some of the key stakeholder
groups and communities that are highly important to the airline’s future success. Alongside this she
brings strong commercial skills and a passion for leadership, which is reflected in her current doctoral
studies on the topic.”
Laurissa will be up for election by shareholders at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting next year.


Ends.
