Valerie Iwasaki, director of sales, is a seasoned hospitality professional with more than 20 years of luxury travel experience. She worked previously at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, where she led the Leisure Sales Team as Senior Leisure Account Director. Previously, she was Account Director at The St. Regis Princeville Resort and held senior sales positions with The Ritz-Carlton in Kapalua in Hawaii and Marina del Rey. She has also worked extensively with Virtuoso, Signature, American Express, and other travel consortia. Valerie holds a B.A. in business management and marketing from the University of Southern California. She has a passion for environmental stewardship and sustainability and in her spare time, she is an avid cook and yoga practitioner. Fascinating fact: Valerie was so enamoured of the personal Micato Safaris journey she took with her husband Eric that she was determined to one day work for the company… and that’s precisely what happened.
Pamela Foster, director of sales, oversees sales for the U.S. Southeast and manages special projects. Prior to joining Micato in 2014 she directed sales for African Travel, where she managed the company’s sales and marketing as well as sales team training. Pamela has also served as regional sales manager for American West Steamboat Company and Western U.S. manager for the South African Tourism Board. Born in New Zealand, she lived in London prior to settling in the U.S. and calling Florida home. Passionate about horses, poetry, swimming, and music, and, especially, Africa, Pamela has been on safari more than 50 times and believes nothing creates more powerful memories than time spent in the African wilderness. Fascinating fact: Pamela was once chased by a hippo and hid in the reeds, only to find 23 more hippos surrounding her.
Ramona Manzi, director of sales, has been with Micato Safaris for 18 years and counting. A veteran travel industry expert well before she came through our doors, Ramona has worked for Alitalia Airlines and has been involved with many prominent travel organizations, serving with distinction as president of the 41-74 Club of New York. She also has travelled to every continent except Antarctica, though you can bet it’s on her list. Ramona enjoys reading, history, cooking, and knitting, as well as acting, singing, and dancing—a triple threat! She also loves sports cars and aspires to get her motorcycle license. Fascinating fact: Ramona was once asked out on a date by legendary tenor Luciano Pavarotti.
Karen Thomas, sales coordinator, got her start in sales and hospitality at Hyatt Hotels, where she worked for more than 35 years. She brings to Micato invaluable experience from her career in the travel industry in roles ranging from concierge and front office manager to executive assistant, at one point in her Hyatt tenure being named manager of the year by the Hyatt Arlington. Karen has also worked in executive assistant roles at the Long Beach Convention Visitors Bureau and at the Marriott Vacation Club in Palm Desert. An aficionado of the natural world, Karen loves hiking as well as photography, wine tasting, puzzle making, needlepoint, and, naturally, travel.
