Trailblazer in Travel: A Conversation with Jaclyn Leibl-Cote, Collette’s First Female CEO Travel Unpacked

Get set for a special Women's History Month edition of Travel Unpacked!

We're rolling out the red carpet for Jaclyn Leibl-Cote, the first female CEO in Collette's 106-year history, for a conversation that's as insightful as it is inspiring. Join us as Jaclyn and Kelsie talk about Jaclyn’s deep family’s roots in travel at Collette and about the mentors that made all the difference in her journey. Hear about how embracing change and listening to customer needs is at the core of everything Collette does. And then, go behind the scenes to get Jaclyn’s refreshing take on innovation, the importance of giving back, and about fostering a workplace where every voice matters. And on this last point, Kelsie shares one of her favorite stories about Jaclyn that exemplifies the culture of caring she fosters at Collette (hint: it involves an awkward encounter in a bathroom!).

Tune in for an episode that’s not just about travel, but about the journey of a woman who's charting the course for the future at Collette and proving every day that when it comes to leadership and innovation, the sky’s the limit.

So, grab your metaphorical suitcase and let’s unpack the future of travel with the woman who’s leading it!
