New Sales Leadership at Ifuru Island Maldives to Drive Growth

Monday 19th of August 2024

Ifuru Island Maldives is set to strengthen its market presence with the addition of two seasoned sales professionals. Devindra De Silva has been appointed Sales Manager for Europe, the UK, and the US, while Manisha Walia takes on the role of Sales Manager for India, Asia, and local Destination Management Companies (DMCs).

Devindra brings extensive experience from his previous roles at Aitken Spence Maritime and top hospitality brands like Cinnamon, Amaya Kuda Rah, and Nika Island Resort. His expertise in sales and marketing has consistently driven significant revenue growth through strategic initiatives.

Manisha, with her strong background in sales management across India and Asia, joins Ifuru Island Maldives from Brennia Kottefaru and Amaya Kuda Rah. Her skills in managing MICE events and client relationships will be vital in expanding the resort’s regional footprint.

Sundar Raj, Director of Sales at Ifuru Island Maldives, expressed enthusiasm about the new appointments, noting their potential to significantly enhance the resort’s growth in both international and regional markets.

Since its opening in September 2023, Ifuru Island Maldives has offered 147 sunset suites and villas, six dining options including two signature restaurants, four bars, and the Maldives’ first permanent Skydive dropzone.
