Ottawa Tourism strengthens its Business and Major Events team leadership, ensuring continuity, excellence, and global service for meetings, conferences, and event professionals.
Ottawa Tourism has announced a series of strategic leadership appointments within its Business and Major Events team, reinforcing the organisation's commitment to excellence and continuity in serving global meetings and conference professionals.
Stephanie Seguin has been promoted to Vice President, Sales, Business & Major Events, with Patrick Quirouette stepping into the role of Director, Sales, Business & Major Events and Lizzy Low appointed Assistant Director, Sales, Business & Major Events. This dynamic leadership team brings extensive experience and deep industry relationships that will ensure a seamless continuation of Ottawa Tourism's world-class service and delivery for business event planners worldwide.
'These appointments are a reflection of the strength and depth of our team,' said Michael Crockatt, President and CEO of Ottawa Tourism. 'We are fortunate to be able to promote from within and maintain the high standards that our clients and partners expect from Canada's capital. Stephanie, Patrick, and Lizzy are respected leaders who embody our values and who will continue to position Ottawa as a premier destination for international conferences, meetings, and major events.'
This transition follows the exciting announcement that Lesley Pincombe, formerly Vice President of Sales, Business & Major Events at Ottawa Tourism, has been named President & CEO of the Rogers Centre Ottawa. Lesley's appointment is a testament to her exceptional leadership and her lasting impact on Ottawa's tourism and events ecosystem. Ottawa Tourism proudly supports Lesley in her new role and celebrates this continued partnership with the Rogers Centre Ottawa, a critical player in the city's visitor economy.
'Thank you to our strong Ottawa Tourism team for being ready to step up to ensure our destination continues to be well-served and supported,' added Crockatt. 'As we celebrate Lesley's well-earned next chapter, we remain single-minded in our mission to serve our clients and stakeholders with the same passion, dedication, and professionalism that define our city.'
Ottawa Tourism looks forward to welcoming meeting planners, conference organisers, and sport event rights holders to experience the same high standard of collaboration, innovation, and hospitality that has made Ottawa a trusted choice for events of all sizes.
