Chief Strategy And Business Development Officer
As the Chief Strategy and Business Development Officer I was responsible for setting and driving the overall strategy of Hornblower Group. Wearing the Business Development hat, I led M&A efforts, proposal management and other key initiatives to create value in the organization. Over the past few years that principal focus was the expansions beyond our maritime roots into the broader travel space (walking & food tours), military services (seaward services), offshore wind (Windea US), SaaS Platform product management and sales (Anchor Operating System).Highlighted M&A Deals- Walks- Devour- Cruising Excursions- Shore Excursions of America- Journey Beyond Highlighted Business Development DealsTechnology:- Anchor SaaS Expansion (Bacardi Brand Homes, Toronto Zoo, SF Bay Ferries, Hornblower Group) - Hydrogen Production Barge (Department of Energy)Transportation:- NYC Ferry- Puerto Rico FerryEnergy & Military: - Windea US (Hornblower Wind CTV Joint Venture)- Seaward Endevour and Seaward Explorer
