It has been six years of bliss and heartbreak to go. My internal promotion is the result of the collective work the team and I have done together to get the businesses in ANZ, but also in the rest of my region, to a great position. The smooth transition that is happening is also proof of how well we plan for the future. Nick will do a fantastic job and will bring the team to yet another level. In the meantime, I will cherish all the relationships and friends I have made through our amazing workplace. It is a privilege to be surrounded every day by so many talented, genuine and motivated people. I wish them the very best
