About

With thirteen years of experience in the yachting industry and a proven track record as a chief engineer in one of my most recent roles, I am seeking to join a yacht that thrives for excellence where I can apply the skills and knowledge I have developed. Throughout my career, I have worked on a variety of different motor yachts with very different owners and requirements, which has helped me gain the ability to balance the owners’ needs with the necessary forward planning needed to maintain a vessel to a very high standard. I have also had the privilege of working alongside some well accomplished captains and chief engineers, gaining valuable insights and experience that enables me to lead an efficient and high-performing engineering department. My strong work ethic ensures that excellence is consistently maintained, and as a team player, I value the importance of collaborating effectively with other departments. I take great pride in being a professional and dedicated individual, giving careful attention to all aspects of my work.
