“The numbers matter, but it’s the people behind them that I enjoy most.”

My Story

Charter accounts is as much about people as it is about numbers.

Most people assume the role revolves around spreadsheets, but a large part of my day is spent working with captains, pursers and charter teams. I enjoy building those relationships and being someone people can rely on when they need help, whether that's resolving an issue, answering a question or finding a solution under pressure.

I moved from Dublin to Nice in 2016 without speaking a word of French. Learning the language and building a life in a new country taught me a lot about perseverance, adaptability and not being afraid to ask questions, qualities I still draw on every day in my role.‌

After several years in charter accounts, I know where issues are most likely to appear and how important it is to catch them early. Just as important, though, is building strong relationships with the people behind the accounts. The numbers need to be right, but the people matter just as much.
