Trent Cook, CAM
Senior Captain/Regulatory & Compliance, The Procter & Gamble Co.
Trent Cook was exposed to both business aviation and airlines growing up and originally planned to pursue an airline career. An internship at Procter & Gamble’s flight department sold him on business aviation. He flew for a regional airline for a few years before returning to Procter & Gamble in 2011 to fly and, now, lead the Recruiting Team.
For Cook, a key attraction to business aviation is that it offers individuals a great ability to be recognized for their personal strengths and how they impact the business in a people-focused environment.
“Through my position on P&G’s Recruiting Team, I and the other team members can directly affect the future success of the flight department and business aviation more broadly. Seeing the wins after sharing the aspects and benefits of a career in business aviation with students is incredibly rewarding,” Cook said.
