Today I am pleased to announce the appointment of Gabrielle Hall to lead an Australian diplomatic post in Brazil.
Ms Hall has been appointed to the role of Consul-General and Trade and Investment Commissioner in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Ms Hall is currently Consul-General and Trade and Investment Commissioner in Houston, Texas.
Prior to her posting in Houston, Ms Hall held various positions with Austrade in the Latin American region, including Trade Commissioner in Santiago, Chile, and business development roles in Mexico and Colombia.
Her appointment underscores the importance of Australia's relationship with Brazil, and will advance our trade and diplomatic interests, and drive opportunities for a continued and strong bilateral trading relationship.
I congratulate Ms Hall on her well-deserved appointment and I thank the outgoing Consul-General and Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner John Prowse for his time and successful efforts in the role.
