Anna is the Founder of Playfair Point, a strategic advisory helping organisations build supply chains they can stand behind. She works with businesses across food, agriculture and consumer products to strengthen supply chain resilience, governance, responsible sourcing and commercially grounded sustainability. Born and raised on a sheep and beef farm in the Scottish Borders of Scotland, Anna has also lived on a sheep and cropping property in the Central West of New South Wales.
Combined with more than 14 years working across global food and fibre supply chains, these experiences have given her a deep appreciation of the people behind agriculture and a passion for building stronger connections between farmers, producers, industry and consumers. Before establishing Playfair Point, Anna held senior leadership roles with Woolworths Group and Marks & Spencer, leading sustainability strategy globally.
Throughout her career, she has worked alongside farmers, producers, processors, manufacturers, retailers and industry leaders across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Europe, helping organisations strengthen governance, manage risk and build resilient supply chains.
Alongside Playfair Point, Anna is also the Founder of Playfair Gin, a premium Australian gin inspired by her Scottish farming heritage. Launching both businesses reflects her belief that it’s never too late to back yourself, embrace change and build something meaningful.
Anna is a passionate advocate for Australian agriculture and is committed to helping bridge the rural and urban divide. Throughout her career, she has represented Woolworths on numerous industry forums, including serving for three years on the MLA Sheep Sustainability Framework Steering Group and seven years as the retailer representative on the Australian Beef Sustainability Framework. She is passionate about helping people in agriculture find their voice and ensuring farmers and producers are recognised as critical partners in creating sustainable, resilient food systems.
Known for making complex topics practical, engaging and commercially relevant, Anna speaks on leadership, agriculture, sustainability, supply chains, resilience and entrepreneurship.
