Gattung on life at Telecom

Published: 8:26PM Friday March 05, 2010 Source: Close Up

Theresa Gattung was just 37 when she became CEO of Telecom.

It surprised alot of people, not only was she young, but she was a female.

The only one who wasn't surprised was Theresa Gattung herself because it was a goal she had set herself as a school girl.

It was also a goal that would take a large personal toll on her 20 year relationship.

It's all revealed in her book Bird On A Wire. She details the troubles with Telecom, with the government and her own personal problems.

She would do it all again in a flash though, but as she told Mark Sainsbury she is quite happy that she is not there right now.
