Cohera — the DMC formed from the merger of 360 Destination Group, CSI DMC and Destinations South, and serves 50 U.S destinations — has named Trina Roffino CEO.

Roffino brings more than 25 years of leadership experience in integrated creative and experiential marketing. She most recently served as president and CEO of The Marketing Arm, where she helped grow and transform the organization to create brand experiences, live events, sponsorships, and integrated marketing campaigns for companies including State Farm, PepsiCo, Morgan Stanley and Novartis. 

Trevor Hanks, who has served as CEO since Cohera’s formation, will become head of corporate development, while continuing to serve as a member of company’s board of directors. In this role, Hanks will focus on strategic partnerships, acquisitions and opportunities that expand Cohera’s capabilities and its future.

“What attracted me to Cohera was not just the business opportunity; it was the people,” said Roffino. “Every conversation reinforced the same themes: relationships, collaboration, care for clients, and pride in creating experiences people never forget. Those qualities cannot be manufactured. They are built over time by people who genuinely care. I’m honored to join this team, and excited to build on the incredible foundation already in place.”

In addressing his new position, Hanks said, “This is not a departure; it’s the next step in building the future for Cohera. Creating Cohera has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. It also reinforced where I can make the greatest impact: building relationships, creating opportunities, and bringing great people and companies together. I’m excited to continue that work while helping guide Cohera’s future in this new role.”
