Aurora Expeditions has appointed Hayley Peacock-Gower as the company’s first-ever Chief Marketing Officer.
With more than 20 years of experience in strategic branding, marketing and media for an array of major Australian and global brands and agencies, including News Corp, Fairfax Media, Canon and Leo Burnett, Hayley will spearhead the company’s marketing operations worldwide.
“Hayley is a top talent, a passionate and meaningful addition to the Executive Leadership Team,” says CEO Monique Ponfoort.
“Her extensive background and skills will add immeasurably in building the marketing, content and strategic partnership platform that will drive growth for the Aurora brand.”

Hayley’s appointment comes at a key moment for Aurora Expeditions with the launch of its second purpose-built ship Sylvia Earle in 2022, and the return to small-ship expedition travel in Antarctica from January 2022.
“This is an incredible opportunity to innovate with new content and transformative experiences which will drive interest and demand while positioning the brand for future growth,” says Hayley.
“There is no better opportunity both professionally and personally, especially given the timing, as we accelerate meaningful changes in our ongoing care for the planet programs, and our imminent return to what Aurora Expeditions does best; life-changing small-ship expeditions.”
