Mihiatea RUTA
CEO & Co Founder
Currently manager of several companies in various areas, including Akivai Lagoon Adventures. After
working for 10 years in my parent's family business, one of the largest companies in the area of
tourism in Moorea, here I am a manager of my own tourist activity company. Akivai completes my
parent's maritime fleet. I wanted to offer a luxury service for a small group of max 12 people. I was also
supported throughout the creation of my company by 2 young entrepreneurs like me who have
developed well on the Island of Tahiti and Bora Bora.
I grew up at the same time as my parent's business because it was created at the year of my birth, in
1991. I danced for tourists when I was younger, my parents welcomed them on the "Motu" where they
prepared a lunch. During lunch we did dance shows. I learned English that way too. I learned to drive a
Jet Ski at the age of 5, I drove the boats with my dad. When I was a teenager, during school holidays, I worked with my parents all the time. And when I turned 24, I was employed in the company. I started
out as a public relations officer. I was selling our activities in hotels on The Island of Moorea. 2 years
later, I started to do accounting and human resources for about 3 years, then I started to take the total
management of the company while my parents took vacations in the year.
Here I am today, mother of 3 wonderful boys and manager of my own company. But I still work with my
parents for the management of all their companies at the same time. My motto: Always be positive and
always go further.
My first name means to think/dream far away. I think I wear it because I always think very far in
everything I do in my life.
