For this edition, we caught up with one of
Australia's leading company directors, Arlene Tansey. From
growing up in New York as the daughter of two doctors (one of whom
became an entrepreneur whose business manufactured aircraft parts),
to her current role as a director of one of Australia's iconic
brand manufacturers, Pacific Brands, Arlene's journey is a
fascinating one.
Arlene, can you please tell us a little about your role
at Pacific Brands and your career highlights so far?
At Pacific Brands, I am one of five non-executive directors and
a member of the Remuneration Committee. I met the former Chair and
Managing Director of the company through business when I was still
working full time as a banker. The highlight of my Pacific Brands
career was to be invited to join the board after working through
some challenging times with the company.
