Elham Adli

Whilst living and working in the hospitality industry on the Côte d’Azur, I was first introduced to yachting. It was during this period that I developed a profound interest in yachts, and particularly their interior designs. Having lived and worked in five different countries, I easily adapt to diverse cultural and professional environments.

I am fluent in Persian, English, and French, and have basic proficiency in Dutch and Spanish. In 2017, I joined The Yacht Consultant as a Project Manager, primarily working on exterior & interior yacht new builds and refits. A self-motivated, confident, and results-driven individual, I possess exceptional organizational, communication, and multi-tasking skills.

I thrive under pressure and in fast-paced environments, making me well-suited for the demands of the yachting industry. My professional outlook, combined with my ability to work both independently and as part of a team, enables me to deliver consistent value to every project.
