KAUAI, HAWAII - August 29, 2011 - Steve Winter, vice president of operations for Outrigger Enterprises Group's Condominium Division, is pleased to welcome Chris Gampon back to Outrigger, this time as general manager of the Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation on Kauai.

Gampon is no stranger to the Outrigger team as he was the general manager of the Banyan Harbor Resort on Kauai for ten years, a condominium property in the company's affiliate Outrigger Lodging Services' (OLS) portfolio. During his tenure with OLS, Gampon's leadership skills were recognized on numerous occasions with the company's President's Award for Outstanding Management from 1999 through 2006. Continuing his successful hospitality career, Gampon most recently held the general manager position at Diamond Resorts International in Poipu, Kauai.

Gampon is an alumnus of Kauai Community College and the John Stapleton School of Real Estate. His motivation not only lies in business but also in the community as he was the past Chair of Holy Cross/Scared Heart's Finance Council and King Kaumuali'i School Community Council and past Board Member of the Kauai Chamber of Commerce and member of the Society of Human Resource Management.

“His extensive experience, diversified knowledge, and demonstrated expertise in managing operations and developing innovative solutions makes Chris a valuable addition to the team,” said Steve Winter.

Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation is located on sunny Poipu and is beautifully landscaped with coconut palms, plumerias, and cactus and orchids garden. It houses comfortable two-story cottages, rolling lawns and landscaped gardens; all fronting one of the best swimming beaches on Kauai.
