Green Motion Founder & CEO Richard Lowden said: "I am delighted to welcome Javier and Stephanie to the Green Motion family. Puerto Rico is an incredibly important destination for us, further enhancing our presence across the Caribbean. We are incredibly excited to work with Javier and Stephanie and I have absolutely no doubt that with their vast experience and expertise the success of Green Motion in Puerto Rico is in very safe hands. The signing of Puerto Rico marks the latest in a string of exciting developments for the Green Motion brand at this year's ITB travel show in Berlin, and we are very much looking forward to celebrating similar success at the upcoming International Car Rental Show next month."
