Cecilia has a passion for supporting fellow event professionals and a genuine devotion to growth and education within the industry which she has put into practice in her role as President of ILEA UK. She has since the early days of her career been involved in ILEA both internationally and locally and this volunteer role is something she dedicates a lot of time and effort to.

Cecilia is based in London and enjoys travelling the world to explore new cultures and meet new people. She also has a real appetite for food which probably comes from her days spent in catering, Cecilia enjoys trying new recipes and probably spends too much money in restaurants. She is very sociable and enjoys helping and connecting people and therefore her career in the events industry doesn’t feel like a job to her – it is her passion.
