In today’s globalised world, achieving low-carbon transport and logistics systems where goods and people can move between geographies without damaging our planet is essential. Transport emits around 23% of the energy-related CO2 that feeds global warming. Without immediate action, this could rise to 40% by 2040 (International Transport Forum 2024).

Today’s shipping and logistics companies require leaders who can shape sustainable organisations, able to adapt to constantly evolving operational pressures, increasing regulation and accelerating technological changes. With decades of experience of recruiting and coaching leaders and managers for maritime and logistics clients, we know exactly where to find and how to develop the right senior talent for your business.


Recruiting Shipping Leaders with Purpose

Matching a Role-Profile to a CV is easy. With advanced algorithmic keyword searching, our AI-powered executive search platform supports best-in-class mapping and identification from a global network of shipping and logistics leaders. The harder part is matching values and culture and this is where we excel...

Identifying why a leadership candidate wants to work for our client's organisation isn't as straightforward as you'd think. Through a combination of biographical and competency-based interviewing supported by online values assessments and psychometrics, we build a deep understanding of candidate's motivations and their drivers behind the application. Only candidates whose values align with those of our clients make the shortlist.

Talk to any of our shipping and logistics clients and they'll tell you that our global network and our values-orientated focus, makes for powerfully purposeful placements that go way beyond just filling holes in leadership teams.
