The Big Cheese with Donna Kessler of Get Global

The Big Cheese with Donna Kessler of Get Global

We chat with Donna Kessler, Director at Get Global about industry challenges, big things happening this year and who would be the perfect dinner invite, in this week’s Big Cheese.

The greatest thing about my job … The people I work with including buyers and suppliers.

The challenge for industry is… creating something truly spectacular, ensuring the real wow factor, when companies are becoming more and more conservative due to external and internal perceptions regardless of the level of investment.

My greatest achievement is… a happy , healthy life and living the work life balance

The biggest thing in MICE this year will be… Get Global of course! It really will be a different platform, creating real business opportunities for our partners and long-term connections for our buyers.

I try to relax by… a nice glass of something or a long walk

I don’t understand why… We don’t collaborate more

My favourite venue is… all of the ones in the Tourism Portfolio

I’ve always wanted to travel to… anywhere really!

I am scared to death of… death I’ve got a lot of living to do…

I can’t live without… My husband, Thomas

I really wish I had… hmm a hard one as I always try to not have regrets

If I could invite four people to a dinner party, they’d be… lady Diana (what really happened) Roger Federer, George Clooney (just on his own) , Jack Nicholson (I hope they all get on!)

For anyone starting out in the industry one piece of advice I’d give would be…. be ethical, professional and passionate and be willing to give back!
