With over two decades of experience that began at sea and progressed through maritime education and port state control, Capt.

He also co-leads initiatives on the Maritime Just Transition, addressing the training and competency requirements for next-generation fuels and technologies. His insights into aligning people, policy, and technology make him a highly sought-after speaker on maritime training, decarbonisation, and human-centred industry transformation.

Through his work with the International Chamber of Shipping and engagement with regulators, training institutions, and industry bodies, he actively contributes to defining future-ready competency frameworks, promoting continuous learning, and supporting a just and inclusive transition for seafarers as the industry evolves. His perspective bridges policy, practice, and people—making him a strong advocate for building resilient, skilled, and sustainable maritime workforces worldwide.
