The Caribbean Consulting Story
Richard Holm and Marie van Rooyen discovered our unique synergy while working at IBM/Prodigy during the early development of online services and the internet.
With Berthia Parle
Collaborating on projects such as American Airline's EAASY SABRE (which they helped evolve into Travelocity) - Richard and Marie rarely agreed on anything.
It quickly became apparent that when they finally did come to a consensus - it was something that everyone, including designers, technical programmers, corporate executives, clients and most importantly - the buying public found understandable, usable and successful in the world of online marketing.
After their pioneering efforts at IBM, Richard and Marie each went their separate ways (see bios below). They were both very successful - but found they were each missing that 'other perspective', marketing synergy and intangible 'magic' the happened when working together.
Since re-uniting in 2003, their clients now benefit from this unique perspective and intangible synergy that clients often refer to as magic!
We have now added Anita Soto as our newest consultant. Many of you will know Anita from her years as Membership Director of the Caribbean Hotel Association working with John Bell in the San Juan headquarters. Anita brings a wealth of experience throughout the Caribbean and will be an important asset for our clients.
