Brisbane 2032 Olympic Committee Chief Cindy Hook to Exit After Four-Year Term

The Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games organising committee is preparing for a leadership transition as chief executive Cindy Hook confirmed she will step down at the conclusion of her four-year contract early next year. A global executive search will commence without delay to find her replacement. Hook, appointed in December 2022, reflected that the organisation now has a firm foundation and is ready for the next operational phase.

President Andrew Liveris commended her for transforming the committee from a start-up into a mature body with strong values, financial discipline, and a capable team. IOC Coordination Commission chair Mikaela Cojuangco-Jaworski added that Hook maximised the long preparation period, delivering a clear Games vision, legacy strategy, and the first commercial partnership. The change comes as the committee moves from planning to the critical stage of project delivery and event execution.
