My Present As Director of Charter Marketing at Northrop & Johnson under the MarineMax SuperYacht Division, I lead a global team dedicated to helping yacht owners transform their assets into high-performing charter programs. My focus lies in strategic planning, owner advocacy, and operational excellence—empowering owners to optimize revenue while maintaining the bespoke experience that defines the superyacht lifestyle.
With more than 19 years in the industry, I’ve built a career on challenging convention and reimagining what yacht charter can be. I’m passionate about driving commercial success through creativity, data-driven strategy, and collaboration. Our charter marketing team is constantly innovating, exploring new ways to grow our fleet, reach new audiences, and elevate the standards of service across the industry.
My Past My yachting career began at sea, and I’ve never lost that sense of adventure. After graduating from the University of Wales with degrees in French and Italian, I left my hometown of Swansea to pursue a life on the Côte d’Azur, where I started out as yacht crew. I went on to lead charter marketing teams at Edmiston & Company and Camper & Nicholsons before joining Northrop & Johnson in 2022.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of launching and representing some of the most remarkable yachts in the world. From LAMIMA, the first hand-built Indonesian superyacht to enter the global charter market, to LEGEND, the pioneering ice-class explorer that redefined luxury expeditions, and icons like CHRISTINA O and OCTOPUS, each project has shaped the evolution of charter in its own way.
I’m also proud to have spearheaded initiatives that focus on people as much as yachts. In 2013, I collaborated with “The Crew Coach” to introduce professional development programs for Captains and crew—an industry-first designed to elevate performance and strengthen the human side of yachting.
My Future I’m excited about the next phase of the superyacht industry—particularly the rise of exploration yachts, sustainable innovation, and data-driven charter strategy. I believe the future belongs to forward-thinking owners and teams who balance purpose with profit, and I’m committed to helping lead that evolution.
Personally, I look forward to exploring my new home in the U.S., discovering destinations like Costa Rica and Alaska with my family, and continuing to champion the spirit of adventure that defines this incredible industry.

My Outside-office Life Outside the office, I’m raising two lively daughters and sharing with them my love of travel, culture, and the sea. I’m energized by live music, culinary exploration, and time spent outdoors—especially anywhere with sunshine, salt air, and a sense of discovery.
