Zhavargo Jolly has been appointed the new Minister of Tourism for the Turks and Caicos Islands following last month’s general elections. In addition to tourism, he will oversee the portfolios of Agriculture, Fisheries, and the Environment, succeeding former tourism minister Josephine Connolly.
A seasoned entrepreneur, financial expert, and public servant, Minister Jolly brings a wealth of experience to his new role. Before entering politics, he served as Managing Director of Turks and Caicos Islands Capital, a private investment and lending firm. His background in finance, business strategy, and economic development positions him to drive sustainable growth in the country’s tourism industry, according to a release from Experience Turks and Caicos.
Minister Jolly holds a Business degree from the University of South Carolina and an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business. His leadership skills were further honed through his service in the Turks and Caicos Islands Marine Regiment, where he earned the Governor’s Award as the most outstanding recruit.
