Tuatahi First Fibre Announces Appointment Of New Chief Financial Officer
Tuatahi First Fibre is pleased to announce the appointment of Anna Cleaver as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective 4 August 2025.
Anna brings more than 20 years of experience in mergers and acquisitions, finance, strategy, advisory and business development. She joins Tuatahi from Kingfisher, where she served as Vice President, Business Development. In this role, she led innovative technology initiatives for telecommunications clients globally, with a more recent focus on the Asia-Pacific region.
Her previous roles include Head of Growth, Mergers and Acquisitions at Orica (a global ASX listed mining services and technology company) as well as strategy, innovation and mergers and acquisitions roles at both Chorus in NZ and Telstra in Australia, giving her deep insight into the telecommunications sector and the New Zealand market.
Tuatahi First Fibre Chief Executive John Hanna says Anna's depth of experience and leadership style make her a strong fit for the business.
'We're pleased to welcome Anna to Tuatahi,' says Mr Hanna. 'Her commercial and strategic acumen, along with her experience in high-growth and technology-led environments, will be a valuable asset to our growing business. Anna also brings strong values, a calm and thoughtful presence, and a real commitment to collaboration – all of which strongly align with our culture and aspirations.'
Anna is equally enthusiastic about joining Tuatahi.
'I am thrilled to be joining Tuatahi at such an exciting stage in the company's journey. It is an honour to be part of a collaborative, caring and innovative organisation that is making a real difference to New Zealand.'
Alongside her corporate career, Anna competed globally as a professional triathlete and represented New Zealand in swimming. She brings that same high-performance mindset to her leadership approach.
Anna replaces Chief Financial Officer Joel Bettley, who stepped down in June after six years with Tuatahi.
Tuatahi First Fibre thanks Joel for his significant contribution and leadership, and wishes him all the best for the future.
