American-born Cindy Hook says her appointment as chief executive of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games is a chance to repay Australia for welcoming her.

Hook, who arrived in Australia in 2009, has vast experience as a global executive with previous jobs including CEO roles at Deloitte Australia and Deloitte Asia Pacific.

She has also held directorships on the Economic Development Board of Singapore and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, and expects her Brisbane 2032 role to be challenging but rewarding.

"I could not pass up the opportunity to be part of the event that has such potential to deliver a meaningful legacy for Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and the Olympics and Paralympics globally," Hook said in a statement on Tuesday.

"The idea of setting up the organisation, building the team, creating a vision and driving to a smooth delivery of Brisbane 2032 is very exciting and I expect it will be both challenging and rewarding.

"More than anything, I see this role as an opportunity to give back to the country that has welcomed me and my family with open arms and become our adopted homeland.

"We have experienced first-hand that Australia is a nation that understands the benefits of a being a true multicultural society ... to create a community like no other across the world."

Brisbane 2032 president Andrew Liveris derscribed Hook as an "exceptional fit" for the games organisers.

"We conducted a global search to ensure we had the best candidates in the mix and the mix was strong," he said.

"I'm so pleased that we've found someone with a deep affinity for Australia while also understanding what is required to turn Brisbane 2032 into a household name across the world.

"We needed an individual that knows what it takes to run a multi-billion dollar business on time and on budget, as well as how to engage to the community, industry and the corporate sector in what is effectively the biggest event-based project this nation will see in a generation."
