Sammy Anderson joined Gallagher December 2021 as the Executive Business Partner for Lisbeth Jacobs (Chief Executive - Animal Management).
Sammy has 14 plus years of office and admin management experience in the agricultural industry, having held several roles at Fonterra before joining Gallagher. This included Personal Assistant positions managing office relocations and joint venture amalgamations and Project Admin Lead which saw Project Admin brought in-house.
Sammy’s role with Lisbeth includes calendar management, travel coordination, pack preparation, finance support, stakeholder management and more. She also supports the wider leadership team with travel requests, conference logistics, team events and office management.
She says “I love the detail, solving problems, keeping people on track, and making the office a fun place to work… and of course, quite simply what it takes to make Lisbeth’s life easier! I might be an introvert at heart, but I enjoy great office banter and planning social events” (Fun fact: Sammy has also held the role of President of the Fonterra Social Club with 600 members). The rest of the office says, “We don’t know what we’d do without Sammy!”.
In Sammy’s spare time, she volunteers with the Graeme Dingle Foundation as a youth mentor, is a “Wish Fairy” with the Make a Wish foundation and enjoys going to Musicals.
