About

‘I would like to nominate Brooke Connell to be included in the GC Powerlist: Australia 2019. She is effectively responsible for the general counsel role at Velocity Frequent Flyer (which is 65% owned by Virgin Australia and 35% owned by private equity firm Affinity Equity Partners), overseeing the legal function at Velocity. This sees her managing complex negotiations and often litigious disputes with Velocity’s numerous business partners. I have been particularly impressed with her as she has effectively acted as an M&A lawyer, a banking lawyer and a business as usual lawyer at the same time, going well above her in-house role specs. She is seen as a trusted advisor to senior management at Velocity’.
