With a background in Marketing and Management I started my career in the Superyacht industry in 1996 before spending 12 years at sea in positions from Deckhand to Captain. After travelling extensively and attaining my Master 3000 in 2001 I made the move ashore in 2007 to develop my career further. I worked for 2 yacht management companies in the UK gaining valuable Superyacht, operational, crew, and budget management experience in addition to further developing client liaison and business development skills. I set up MGMT as I saw a need to remove the complication and confusion for private clients and businesses starting out in the Superyacht industry. MGMT developed into a specialist advisory company but also branched out into Superyacht marketing in 2011 when we got involved in the promotion of London and the 2012 Olympics to the Superyacht industry. We also worked closely with a number of luxury brands, financial institutions, and venues in the build up to the Olympics as a way of developing, not only our brand but also a comprehensive luxury offering for our growing number of Olympic clients.Following the success of the Olympics, MGMT spent some time working in the luxury services and concierge market and, as a result developed an extremely valuable network of trusted brands, suppliers and contacts from across the world who we are able to call on to assist our clients as and when required.In 2014 we got involved in crew services, specifically tax, wealth management, banking, insurance and legal advice. As areas that crew find notoriously complicated we set up Crew Family Office to assist crew in understanding their obligations as well as ensuring they are making the most of the money they earn.I pride myself on my ability to make connections and achieve outstanding things for our businesses and our clients as a result of looking at and doing things differently. Above all I enjoy a marketing based approach to business. I like to do things differently and am always open to opportunities whatever they may be.
