Tourism Fiji has announced the appointment of Fiji-born Srishti Narayan as its head of global marketing.
Chief marketing officer Emma Campbell said Ms Narayan’s remarkable marketing skills would help strengthen Fiji’s marketing capability across the globe.
In its latest announcement, the government’s tourism marketing arm noted that it had continued a recent trend of enticing Fijian born experienced professionals to return home to Fiji and take up significant positions within the team.
Tourism Fiji chief executive Brent Hill said they were privileged to welcome Ms Narayan back home to the country of her birth to work for Tourism Fiji.
“She has exactly what we need to continue to push forward to achieve our goals and is a great, experienced fit for our team based here in Fiji.
We warmly welcome her to the fold today and wish her well in her new role,” Mr Hill said.
Ms Narayan joins recently-appointed chief operations officer Leigh Howard and executive head of regions Robert Thompson as a Fiji-born professional returning to Fiji to work at Tourism Fiji, after gaining significant experience overseas.
Tourism Fiji has also noted that Ms Narayan possesses a wealth of experience across a number of countries, and in several areas, including being a strong, driven strategic marketer with a proven track record of leading high performing teams and developing unique propositions that generate strong return on investment.
She was brought up and educated in Aotearoa, New Zealand after her family migrated years ago but has always maintained a strong connection to Fiji with family in Suva.
The statement added that she was delighted to return home once again to take up this exciting role.
She graduated with honours from the Victoria University of Wellington with a Bachelor of Commerce and Administration majoring in Management and International Business and has held senior roles in Marketing, Communications and Strategy in New Zealand.
