Sharon AI Recruits Spark New Zealand Veteran as Legal Chief

Anastasiou brings two decades of experience in finance, governance, and technology law to the NASDAQ-listed company. During her lengthy tenure at Spark, she served as Executive Group General Counsel and Commercial Director, where she managed corporate governance, cyber privacy, and digital transformation initiatives.

In her new role, Anastasiou will oversee legal and compliance functions, focusing on regulatory discipline and the development of responsible AI frameworks. The hire is part of a broader strategy to attract senior talent from established technology firms to support the company’s growth in high-performance computing. By securing an executive with deep experience in national infrastructure, Sharon AI aims to meet the heightened security and governance demands of its international customer base.
