The Association of Corporate Counsel Australia (ACC Australia) has appointed Mei Ramsay as new National President.

Ms Ramsay succeeds previous President Justin Coss and will serve for two years.

She has served on the ACC Australia board since 2015 and was also former Chair of the ACC Australia GC100 Group and a member of Chief Executive Women.

Speaking about her election, she said: “I look forward to continuing to support ACC Australia to grow, innovate and provide world-class education, networking and resources to its members. It is truly an honour for me to serve as ACC Australia’s National President, and I am grateful for the trust bestowed upon me.”

“I want to particularly acknowledge the leadership provided by Justin Coss, who has led ACC Australia through the most difficult of times, navigating the uncertain and constantly changing environment with determination and resilience.”

Ms Ramsay currently works as the group general counsel at Medibank, having served with the company since 2011. She has more than 25 years of experience in the legal profession, ACC said in a statement, both as a senior in-house legal adviser for multinational and international companies, as well as a private practitioner.

Elsewhere, Elixinol Wellness Limited global general counsel and company secretary Teresa Cleary has been appointed as the national vice-president of ACC Australia.
