We'd like to take this opportunity to introduce PCOA's latest councillor: Rachel Cook, Business Director, Conference Innovators, New Zealand! Rachel has dedicated her career to creating exceptional event experiences. Through roles in the hospitality and corporate travel sectors, she gained valuable expertise in sales and account management while working for leading hotels, corporate travel agencies, and venues. This experience provided a strong foundation for her transition to event management, where she discovered her passion for orchestrating professional, memorable events. Since joining Conference Innovators (CI) in 2005 as an Event Manager, Rachel has been instrumental in the company’s continuing growth and success. Her extensive experience, commitment to excellence and natural leadership saw her become a shareholder and Director in 2012. Rachel plays a pivotal role in building and supporting the talented CI team, fostering a collaborative and innovative culture that underpins the delivery of high-quality events. Rachel takes immense pride in the CI team, recognising their collective achievements as the key to the company’s reputation for excellence, mentoring staff to ensure high standards are maintained.
