Partnership Lead at Wood Mackenzie

Speaker

With nearly 30 years of maritime experience, I am now a Partnership Lead at Wood Mackenzie, a global leader in energy, chemicals, renewables, metals, and mining research and consultancy. In this role, I leverage my extensive maritime background and deep understanding of the industry's operations and the needs of its end users to deliver value to the company and its partners. By bridging the gap between industry knowledge and strategic partnerships, I aim to drive impactful collaborations that enhance Wood Mackenzie's offerings and expand its reach.

Previously, I was a Principal Product Manager at Veson Nautical, a leading provider of SaaS solutions for the global shipping industry. In this role, I utilized my product management skills and maritime trade expertise to deliver innovative solutions that optimized workflow efficiency and profitability for clients. I also spearheaded a transformative project with the potential to increase revenue by 25%.

In addition to my professional roles, I am the host and creator of "The Last Dinosaur," a podcast dedicated to exploring maritime shipping in the digital age. Through this platform, I share insights and perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing the maritime sector, engaging with industry leaders and experts to foster meaningful dialogue and innovation.

As a thought leader and advocate for technology-driven solutions, I am passionate about revolutionizing the maritime industry to create a more efficient, sustainable, and interconnected future.
