Overview

Operations is where most of shipping’s talent sits, yet it is also historically where women would stall before reaching commercial and leadership roles.

That picture is starting to change, with women now holding some of the industry’s most significant positions, and this webinar asks the people who got there how it happened.

Join us on 24th November, 9:00 to 9:45 GMT, for “Running the port call: what operations taught us about leading in shipping,” moderated by Janani, with a panel of senior women from operations and chartering.

They will talk candidly about the pivotal moments that shaped their progression, how to make your judgment and commercial impact visible without waiting to be noticed, where technology and AI are genuinely giving time back, and what it takes to build a career in a 24/7 operation without burning out.
