Former New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has joined Australia’s second largest telecommunications firm Optus, in a move likely to bolster Optus’ chances of winning more government contracts.

The former premier will be the managing director of enterprise, business, and institutional, and will assist Optus with “delivering on its vision to become Australia’s most loved everyday brand.”
