Port Denarau Marina Limited (PDML) has expanded its senior management team in Fiji, bringing Sonal Sharma on board as general manager for marina and commercial operations (GMMCO), a newly created role effective from 23 October 2026, as the marina prepares to roll out its approved masterplan.
Sharma joins PDML after more than a decade of experience in tourism, economic development and government relations, having held senior positions at Tourism Fiji as head of communications, acting chief marketing officer and head of communications for North America.
Her career also spans Fiji’s public sector, where she served as principal business advisory officer at the Ministry of Commerce, Trade, Tourism & Transport and previously worked as a senior economist and budget analyst at the Ministry of Economy.
Reporting directly to chief executive officer Cynthia Rasch, Sharma will manage commercial tenancy, guest services, reservations, finance and human resources. She will work closely with frontline managers to maintain service quality across the marina, while Rasch focuses on PDML’s long-term plans, capital projects and the rollout of its approved masterplan.
The marina acknowledged Sharma’s appointment in its announcement, stating: “PDML is delighted to welcome an executive of Sonal’s caliber to the senior management team as the marina embarks on its next period of major infrastructure development and world-class service enhancement.”
