“Since joining Aristocrat in October 2021, Anne has led a number of complex strategic projects and major mergers and acquisitions and established herself as a trusted partner and cultural leader.
“Anne’s legal expertise, industry knowledge and strong understanding of our obligations as an ASX-listed company further add to her credentials and will be integral at this exciting time in Aristocrat’s journey.”
