CLIA appoints president and CEO
Cruise Lines International Association has confirmed that acting CEO Cindy D’Aoust will become permanent president and CEO after seven months serving in the top job on an interim basis.
D’Aoust stepped in to head the trade group after a brief one-month stint by former Coast Guard official Thomas Ostebo.
“CLIA is a strong and well-respected organisation with an impressive global team. Now more than ever, it is important for the cruise industry to collaborate and create a stronger global voice,” D’Aoust said.
D’Aoust joined CLIA in 2014 as executive vice president of membership and operations.
She is a former COO of Meeting Professionals International and held senior leadership positions at Maxvantage and Maritz Travel.
“Cindy has proven to be an extremely valuable and knowledgeable member of our executive team. Her extensive experience in the hospitality and travel industries, combined with her leadership skills, made her the right person to guide our global industry association on an exciting journey forward,” said Adam Goldstein, global CLIA chairman, who is also COO of Royal Caribbean Cruises.
