Individual Editorial
Melissa Anastasiou is Spark's lead lawyer and based in New Zealand. She has been with the telecommunications company since 2009, having joined from O2 in the UK. Prior to that, she was a private-practice lawyer at Linklaters and MinterEllisonRuddWatts. She is a highly-respected lawyer who is praised by commentators for her navigation of business-critical transactions.
Strengths
She is a fantastic lawyer who is incredibly well respected in an organisation that is constantly moving.
Melissa leads from the front. Her input is as much strategic as it is legal.
