Anishka Jelicich commences role as New Zealand Winegrowers CEO

New Zealand Winegrowers (NZW) has today announced that Anishka Jelicich has commenced her role as Chief Executive Officer. She joins the organisation following “a successful international career spanning more than two decades across New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Europe”. Jelicich said she has had the privilege of seeing New Zealand wine through the eyes of the world during her time working internationally in the global wine and drinks sector. “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 through the leadership of Philip Gregan (recently retired CEO), the NZW board, the NZW team, our members and those who have contributed over many years,” she said. Chair of New Zealand Winegrowers, Fabian Yukich, said the board is delighted to welcome Jelicich into the role.
