The world is going nuts with the adverse effects of plastic on the environment and the sea. Toxins, chemicals, …, you name it!
Not to mention the damage caused to earth’s living souls’ health...
On top, there are two things that drive me crazy: in the year of 2021…
(1) Vessels’ members who devote their lives to not leave half the world starved and the other half freezing to not have access to constantly fresh drinking/cooking potable water…
and
(2) shipping companies that on one hand thrive to cover 90% of the world’s trade by sea, yet with their total operating expenses expected to rise in 2021 (including regulatory compliance costs) to not have the means to not only eliminate plastic bottled water for their vessels but to on top pay crazy money to have both still and plastic bottled water on board their vessels…
I am passionate about protecting the sea, seafarers and the environment through the latest environmental, health and safety initiatives, ensuring compliance with all industry regulations. I am a problem and cost solver, goal-driven international executive, with a can-do attitude.
I deliver value, fully covering client’s what's-in-it-for-me, with 26+ years of hands-on experience in the marketing and business development in the B2B environment in the EMEAS region, operating in demanding working environments. Always open to new challenges.
