Since her promotion to the role of executive manager, corporate legal in early 2018, Annette Quesado has significantly raised the profile of the legal function in the Suncorp New Zealand business. Her work with the executive and senior leadership team has been well recognised, especially during the proposed merger with Tower Ltd and the establishment of a new joint venture finance company. In addition to being recognised for her leadership skills, Quesado led and developed a cross-Tasman leaders’ summit for the business, bringing together leaders from different functions of the company for coaching and workshops.
