Chief executive Miles Hurrell said Palairethad valuable expertise and a strong relationship focus, which would serve her well.
“Anna has extensive experience in operational, customer, sustainability, and sales roles,” he said.
Palairet spent more than a decade in senior leadership roles at Air New Zealand before joining Fonterra in October 2022 as global supply chain director.
