With over 20 years of extensive experience in the maritime and superyacht industry, I have cultivated a profound understanding of its intricacies and demands. My journey has been deeply intertwined with catering to the needs of Ultra High Net Worth individuals (UHNW), where I've honed my skills in connecting exceptional talent with unparalleled opportunities, both on land (private staff) and at sea (expedition and superyacht crew).
As a former Royal Marine, specialising in supporting veterans is a passion of mine. I've dedicated myself to facilitating their seamless transition into the maritime and superyacht realm. Through strategic guidance and unwavering support, I've empowered numerous veterans to leverage their unique skill sets and experiences within this dynamic industry.
My commitment to excellence, coupled with a genuine passion for fostering meaningful connections, has consistently driven me to exceed expectations and deliver exceptional results. As I continue to navigate the waters of the maritime and superyacht world, I remain steadfast in my mission to bridge talent with opportunity, enriching both individual careers and the industry as a whole.
