It’s good luck and not Goodbye to Jo Rzymowska

#Traveltradetogether

Dropping your camera into a glass of Bubbles is not a good idea so apologies partners for the blurred pics.

The Ivy restaurant on Dublin’s Dawson Street was the venue for Irish trade and media partners to wish one of our true Industry friends Jo Rzymowska (vice president and managing director, Celebrity Cruises) bon voyage following 20 years at the helm of Celebrity Cruises.

Jo was joined by Claire Stirrup (Senior Director Sales, UK & Ireland, Celebrity Cruises) Valerie Murphy (Strategic Account Manager Ireland) and Nicola McNeish (Head Of Sales at Celebrity Cruises).

Jo thanked all trade partners for their amazing support over the years and made it very clear that she was not retiring but simply evolving as she moves to a new phase of her career. Well Jo we all look forward to the evolution of the next chapter in your stellar career. Jo also referred to her amazing Celebrity team and Giles Hawke who takes over from Jo as Vice President & Managing Director EMEA in July.

Jo, it has been an WonderFULL experience with your friendship, support and goodwill received by our much-loved industry and delivered Beyond all expectations. That is what makes the next turn of the page in your evolution all the more rewarding for those who know and have yet to sample all things, Jo Rzymowska.
