Fonterra announces acting COO

Fonterra has announced Anna Palairet as acting Chief Operating Officer (COO) to replace current COO Fraser Whineray, who is leaving the Co-op next month.

Palairet joined Fonterra in October 2022 as Director of Global Supply Chain and has experience across operations, customer and safety.

According to Miles Hurrell, Fonterra CEO, Palairet has spent more than a decade in senior leadership roles at Air New Zealand, including head of sustainability and leading the business. She is the current Chair of Kotahi GP.

“Anna has a strong people and relationship focus and will provide leadership to a critical part of our business,” Hurrell said.

Palairet will immediately transition to the position and work alongside Fraser, remaining in the acting role until a permanent appointment is made.
