About
A Master Mariner who has spent 15 years seeing shipping from the operational side — and who now wants to apply that practical understanding wherever it can create value. I progressed at Maersk from Junior Officer to Chief Officer and Master, and hold an MBA in Human Resources. My strength is connecting the bigger picture with what actually happens on board: people, vessels, risk, timing, decisions and execution.
VESSELS: Extensive container-shipping experience and Master-level judgement.
PEOPLE: Multinational leadership, communication and stakeholder management.
THINKING: Wider-picture problem solving and calm decisions under pressure.
GROWTH: Curious, adaptable and confident about learning a new side of shipping.
