ISLANDER TEAM

​“Our experts have dipped their toes in the crystal clear turquoise waters, climbed the famous pitons, trekked the rainforest, strolled along the beautiful sandy beaches, and between us we've stayed at each and every one of our Escape Villa collection. Yes, it's a hard job, but someone has to do it!”

Scott 

Operations & Technology Design & User Experience Manager - Australia

​Scott Dudley is a business development strategist from Perth, Australia and has over five years experience with online marketing and web strategy in general.

He first met CEO Janus Gyan in 2008 on "Facebook" and since then they have become very good friends. In 2010 he decided to pay Janus a visit and go over to the Caribbean, and instantly fell in love with the place, St Lucia in particular.

Dudley says "I would have to say that the Caribbean is most probably the most spectacular place in the world to go for a holiday, and I have been to quite a few places. The beaches, the rain forests, the scenery and the people are simply amazing. And St Lucia is without doubt one of the main highlights that can not be missed".

Dudley became the Vice President of operations & technology in 2011after accepting a generous job offer from the CEO. He is closely involved with the entire development strategy of the business and continues to make regular visits to the Villa Escapes.

Elaine

Web Projects Coordinator - USA

 Hailing from DeFuniak Springs, FL, she now lives in Vermont with her beautiful family, where she enjoys writing about the beautiful villas located here at Islander.  She first met Janus when they worked on a collaborative writing project together, and she has been writing with him ever since.  

"I love the opportunity every time I get to write something with Janus and for Islander.  It's a rare thing in today's world to find a business so dedicated to customer service and to really providing an experience rather than a simple accommodation.  The way that Islander Escape Villas work is something that I am proud to be a part of, and I can't imagine a better way to put my skills to use than to help travelers connect with such a great travel company and such wonderful travel experiences.

It's an honor to work for a company and a team with such a world class approach to business and travel, as well as to really serving and exceeding the needs and expectations of every client.  The villas offered by Islander give travelers the chance to become immersed in the real St. Lucia outside of big resorts, giving them the chance to fall in love with the island and to really see all that it has to offer.  At the end of the day, there is nowhere I would rather be working than with the Islander team."

Marcus​
​

Director of Finance/Development Strategist  - St. Lucia

​Marcus Antoine is a Financial Advisor and has over seven years experience delivering financial advice to officials of the Government of St. Lucia. Marcus is integral to the development of the Financial Strategy for financing Villa Escapes, as well as the development of a pricing structure that has made Villa Escapes very affordable and successful.

“I met Janus in April 2011 by sheer coincidence on my way home from one from those late evenings at the office as a Budget Analyst in the Ministry of Finance of the Government of St. Lucia.  He had a flat tire and offered my assistance.  We sparked some interesting conversation about our careers, which lead to us speaking about the travel services industry in St. Lucia.  Then, I expressed my interest in entering the industry which Janus gladly welcomed because of my background in Finance and Project Management.

This moment to me was a paradigm shift for the entire course of my life.  I always intended to be an entrepreneur or partner in a business in which I can experience results based on the efforts I invested but was not clear on how it would happen.  Janus offered me the opportunity to be Chief of Finance of Islander St. Lucia.  I embraced this opportunity whole heartedly and this has caused me to realize my dream of creating meaningful businesses that impact the lives of many.”


 Our team is comprised of a mixture of empowered locals and passionate foreigners. And their mission is simple.

To give YOU the best possible experience while staying on the amazing island of St.Lucia. Whilst you’re here you can be guaranteed you’ll NEVER run out of things to do. Or places to go.
