Join WOMANZ on 6 October 2021 to hear from another inspiring Kiwi leader applying her skills in Australia.
Wednesday 6 October 2021, 5.30pm - 6.30pm (AEST, registration is free)
Judi Jones has held the role of Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman since March 2016, when she moved from Wellington to Melbourne. Judi took up the role at a time when, after five years of decline, phone and internet complaints began to significantly increase across Australia. Under Judi’s leadership, the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman has put delivering fair, independent and accessible dispute resolution at the heart of the organisation.
Judi previously held the position of Electricity and Gas Complaints Commissioner in New Zealand for 14 years. As the inaugural Commissioner, Judi established a body seen as the leading scheme in the consumer dispute resolution sector in New Zealand. Judi also held positions in New Zealand’s Advertising Standards Complaints Board and Appeal Board, Massey University’s Dispute Resolution Centre, the electricity industry’s Security and Reliability Council, and was Chair of Consumer NZ.
Judi holds a law degree and a Masters in Business Studies with Distinction in Dispute Resolution.
