Thomas Cook CEO, Harriet Green, wins top award

Harriet Green, the CEO of Thomas Cook, has been announced as this year’s winner of the Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award.

Green was given the job in July 2012 after approaching the chairman directly with her CV and a plan outlining how she would turn around the business.

“Madame Clicquot transformed her family business through belief, innovation, and a ‘can do’ attitude, which are as relevant today as they were then, and I’m honoured to accept the Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award on behalf of everyone at Thomas Cook as we continue to transform our business, just like Madame Clicquot did, through innovation, belief and our ‘can do’ attitude,” says Green.
