About Jeannette Cook

Jeannette Cook is the Communications Manager for the International Wool Textile Organisation. She’s passionate about sharing wool’s remarkable story: how it regulates body temperature, naturally resists odours, and works for everything from cozy sweaters to high-performance activewear, all while being renewable and biodegradable. Based in Brussels, she enjoys the challenge of coordinating communications across time zones and cultures, whether she's working with sheep farmers in Australia or fashion brands in Europe. When not immersed in wool industry trends, you might find her on a yoga mat or exploring Belgium's excellent coffee scene. Have a question about wool or the wool industry?
