About
Passion and dedication have enabled me to develop my career in yachting over the past decade. This has allowed me to maintain the high standards that I have always aimed for with my team onboard. As a result, my crew and I derive great satisfaction from creating a great environment for the owner and ourselves. One of my guiding principles is leading by example and having good leadership skills. This has enabled me to build strong relationships with management and owners alike. I am currently seeking opportunities to manage a bigger vessel, ideally 45-50 meters or more in length. I am excited for this opportunity, and I believe it will provide me with new experiences and a great sense of satisfaction.
