Measure What Matters : Oversee the management of the fleet’s balanced scorecard and compensation processes, ensuring targets are met and the fleet’s performance stays ahead of the curve. Master Communicator : Lead strategic communications between marine operations and the fleet, ensuring clarity and alignment across the board.
