Islander Rent A Car CNMI welcomes a new sales and marketing manager, Simon Odoca, who officially started last Oct. 4, and attended his first Saipan Chamber of Commerce general membership meeting last week at the Hyatt Regency Saipan Ballroom.<\/p>\n

Odoca, who used to be in the sales and marketing industry in Guam, hopes to use his work experience and learnings in his current job. \u201cThis is my first time to work [on] Saipan and work for Islander but I have extensive experience in the transportation and airline industry. For 20 years, I worked as general manager at Nissan car rental and then was the director for operations of the sales for Budget car rentals and I managed the Pacific region that includes the CNMI, Micronesia, and Guam,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

With his new role at Islander, Odoca hopes to help the company expand the market \u201cso I will be going out to the community to hopefully get more local businesses. From what I see right now, the brand Islander is quite strong in the local market but we see the need to work on the military sector more, which is really greatly increasing in the CNMI,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Islander Rent A Car is available on Saipan, Tinian, Rota, and Guam. It offers sedans, SUVs, and sports cars like the Mustang. Customers are guaranteed safety and convenience at specials rates that are within budget. <\/p>\n

\u201cWith Island having branches on all the islands, it\u2019s a great opportunity to expand into the tourism market and I am excited to grow the market here\u2026There\u2019s a lot of potential in the CNMI,\u201d Odoco said. \u201cSaipan is indeed a good destination and now with the ongoing Travel Bubble tapping the Korean market, and we want to be able to tap them too. Capturing a part of the tourism market is what I have been doing in Guam and that is also one of the plans for the CNMI.\u201d<\/p>\n

Odoco looks forward to exploring more of the CNMI, either for work or as a new resident. \u201cIt\u2019s literally leisurely pace here\u2026but I\u2019m here to work so it should be an easy adjustment for me and, besides, Guam is very close,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Islander rent a car human resources officer Rudelia Renojo welcomes Odoco to the team. \u201cWe are happy that he is on board and we welcome him. With Mr. Odoco\u2019s work experience, we look forward to a positive year ahead,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
