Mr. Hylton honed his marketing expertise in his most recent role as Director of Marketing for Hawaiian Superferry, where he spent two years overseeing its advertising, promotions, brand management, e-commerce, frequent traveler loyalty program and revenue optimization. Hawaiian Superferry is expected to generate $140M in revenue by 2009.

Mr. Hylton has a B.A. and an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin.

Mr. Garzia joined the firm in 2006 after a six-year tenure with US Airways, where as Senior Manager of Network Planning he was responsible for creating and implementing the carrier’s route development strategy.
