uniquely experienced maritime sector executive search, recruitment & leadership development
current projects
Leadership Development for 3000+ Leaders.
We’re currently working with two clients - a global ship operator and a major port operator - to build bespoke leadership training for their leaders, ashore and afloat. In each case, the collateral we create (a personal workbook for each leader) is designed for & with the client. We integrate current strategies and values, choosing or building leadership models that deliver results within each client’s paradigm. The outcomes are remarkable!
Executive Search - looking for, and finding, the unicorn.
Our retained searches are usually confidential. We’re definitely not afraid to take on the ‘unicorn’ challenge; while we often work with a client to broaden their thinking on what constitutes a perfect candidate, we relish a difficult search. COOs are a particular speciality and we’re currently looking for an ideal mix of commercial acumen, technical understanding, strategic breadth and gravitas…!
Global recruitment across a wide range of maritime roles.
Always working on an exclusive basis, we do recruitment like most companies do search. Often working confidentially, we’ll search across our networks through a series of individual approaches. The standards we apply to recruitment (double interviews, assessed criteria) are exceptionally high. As well as our current divisional harbourmaster search, we are also in the process of looking for dry charterers, post-fixture specialists & voyage operators.
