About

With over 15 years’ experience as a leading technology, media and telecommunications lawyer, Rachel Meulman has worked with Optus for 11 years and has been a key adviser to a number of areas of the Optus business, including wholesale, property, digital and consumer. Meulman leads legal transactional and advisory support for Optus’ consumer business, which covers brand and communications, device procurement and supply chain areas. Her outstanding commercial acumen, negotiation skills and understanding of business issues means she has played a vital part in delivering quality services and products to Optus’ customers. She has led legal negotiations with a number of global partners, and working in such a highly regulated, competitive environment brings unique challenges in delivering effective legal support, and she is praised by nominators for constantly ‘thinking outside of the square’. The Optus business has frequently changed in recent years, and Meulman has adapted her practice and approach to suit. Key to her success in the role are the strong relationships she has built within Optus and the wider Singtel group and the considered approach she’s taken in leading a team of high-performing leaders.
