Carol Cork
Co-founder & Marketing Director, PrivateFly.com
PrivateFly.com is the first online booking platform for private jet charter, comparing availability and pricing from a global network of over 7,000 accredited aircraft.
Carol developed the business concept as a co-founder with her husband, Adam Twidell (a private jet and former RAF pilot), and PrivateFly was launched in November 2007.
PrivateFly works as a B2B provider to the travel industry and a core part of the distribution strategy is to make it much quicker, easier and more cost effective for the travel industry to sell private jets. The business has developed a range of agent-friendly tools including a cost calculator, online content and a branded white-label version of the booking platform.
PrivateFly now works with businesses including TMCs, concierge groups, and luxury tour operators on a commission-share basis.
PrivateFly has won several innovation and business awards and recently secured investment funding to expand the business.
Carol previously held a variety of Sales and Marketing roles in the media industry for over 14 years, where she worked for companies including Condé Nast and Emap on several successful launches within the luxury sector. She has also previously held an advisory consultancy role to several leading retail and travel businesses.
