About me

My leadership style blends the discipline of a naval background with emotional intelligence and a refined understanding of luxury service, ensuring an exceptional experience for owners and guests. Focused on long-term programs with owners and stakeholders who value trust, discretion and a consistent high standard of operational excellence. Extensive shiphandling experience of vessels up to 330m. Equally strong in leading, inspiring and managing individuals as well as small and large teams.

Hobbies & Interests

I'm a strong believer that a healthy and fit lifestyle fosters a healthy mind. I love all outdoor sports and can just about do most of them (Sky-diving, kitesurfing, triathlons, trail-running, racket sports, paddle boarding, etc). I love and respect the nature and my life represents it.
