From the Chair: Shaping Our Future
OPINION: The months ahead are important for New Zealand Winegrowers.
New Zealand Winegrowers' new Chief Executive Officer Anishka Jelicich says a career working abroad in the global wine and drinks sector has given her opportunity to see New Zealand wine through the eyes of the world.
"Time and again I've seen the extraordinary respect our wines, our people and our industry command globally. That perspective has only deepened a connection that is both personal and professional, making it a real privilege to join an organisation that has helped shape one of New Zealand's great success stories."
New Zealand wine is the country's eighth largest export, generating approximately $2.1 billion annually, and enjoyed by consumers in more than 100 markets around the world, she says.
"My first priority is therefore to listen, learn and spend time with people across the industry, understanding what matters most before we write the next chapter together."
