What I'm looking for

I want to apply my senior maritime operating experience to marine data, port intelligence and digital products, bridging real shipping operations, customers and technology teams.

At Independent, I advise shipping and terminal clients on fleet strategy, trade-lane feasibility, regulatory matters and project risk. I also review third-party incident and technical reports, checking the facts and directing corrections before they inform decisions.

At United Africa Feeder Line, I built the operations and planning team from scratch, managed external ship managers and supported an ERP implementation by translating workflows and user needs into system processes. Across roles at Bahri, Global Feeder Shipping and Maersk, I worked on port productivity, vessel and port KPIs, marine investigations and operational performance. I now want to apply my maritime operating experience to marine data, port intelligence and digital products, bridging shipping operations, customers and technology teams.
