EXECUTIVE INTERVIEWpartner heavily,” she says. “We share our
strategic plans with our key suppliers.
We run workshops. We have planning
days, and of course we sometimes have
fun together.” While having added
support from partners is crucial for
ongoing success, at the end of the day
two heads are also simply better than
one, Anthea adds.“Sometimes our suppliers may have just
a really great idea, or by seeing
someone operating somewhere else in
the world, it might trigger an
opportunity for us. The more people
that are thinking about your business,the better off you are.” While crediting
partners in suppliers, fellow executives,
and “a very supportive husband”,
Anthea also knows to look inward for
the reasons behind her success. “On
a personal note for me, a highlight was
successfully transitioning from a very
medical role into being in a
management capacity, and then to even
take on the CIO role — learning about
IT, myself and that I could lead people.
My success there wasn’t because of
what I technically knew, but how hard
I worked. I would say that was my
greatest achievement,” she says. “To be
able to have such great success in
effectively one organisation and at the
same time move from a medical career
to a management career, getting
married, having children, and keeping it
all going somehow — a bit of just guts
and determination will get you there,
but you’ve got to enjoy it. It has made
me really happy.”“A bit of just guts and
