Alannah & Madeline Foundation welcomes Janelle Hopkins to Board of Directors

Accomplished executive Jannelle Hopkins recently accepted a Board position at the Alannah & Madeline Foundation, an invitation she describes as a privilege. 

Ms Hopkins is currently the Chief Financial Officer at REA Group, and prior to that she held senior roles at Australia Post, where she was the Group Chief Financial Officer, and National Australia Bank. 

She started her career with Professional Services firm Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, where she developed her passion for leadership, business transformation, and growth.
