Fonterra has appointed Anna Palairet as its permanent chief operating officer.

Fonterra has appointed Anna Palairet as its permanent chief operating officer.

Fonterra says Anna Palairet has been permanently appointed as the co-op’s chief operating officer.

Palairet had been acting in the position since June 2023 when she replaced Fraser Whineray, who left the co-op after a three-year stint to focus on venture capital and investing.

Chief executive Miles Hurrell said Palairet had 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.
