Bio
Melinda McKenzie
Klara was an exceptional graduate in our team who came in and hit the ground running - she's an extremely fast learner with great commercial acumen and managed her NPD projects very efficiently, producing strong launch results. I would have no hesitation recommending Klara for any future position - she was an absolute pleasure to work with and would add a great deal of value to any team she was part of due to her maturity, professionalism and foresight.
Justine Arroll
Klara has exceptional stakeholder and relationship management skills, with the ability to build effective working relationships both internally and externally. Combined with her strong intellect, communication, and analytical skills, she was able to use these to deliver consistently high quality results and drive considerable value for Fonterra during her time in the Trade Strategy team. She is a fantastic team player, always willing to lend a helping hand, and supporting other team members to deliver outcomes. I hope I have the opportunity to work with Klara again in the future, and have no hesitation in recommending her to others.
