Cindy Hook, CEO of the Brisbane 2032 Olympics and Paralympics organising committee, is set to step down when her contract ends later this year. Multiple outlets report that her departure follows her four-year term, which began with her appointment in December 2022.
Organising leaders say they will begin a search for her successor immediately. Andrew Liveris, the Brisbane Olympics president, and other committee representatives publicly praise Hook’s role in establishing the organisation and advancing early Games plans. While some reports specify she leaves at the end of the contract later this year, others describe the change as occurring as the organisation moves into its delivery phase, with a leadership transition taking place around the beginning of the next year. Overall coverage focuses on the timing of the exit, the start of recruitment, and the committee’s shift toward delivery planning for Brisbane’s first Olympics in 2032.
