OBJECTIVE

To work with a top company helping market and broker larger, high-value yachts and services on a regional or international basis. I would like to help clients take the stress out of purchasing and ownership while increasing company growth and client loyalty. For the last 10 years I have worked in the yachting industry gaining valuable experience that can help maximize owner/charter enjoyment and loyalty. I can utilize my experiences as a crew member, manager, and charter assistant to provide exemplary follow up and after-sale service and help support brokers so that they succeed and exceed client expectations. I am extremely personable, reliable, and have the ability to listen and learn in order to complete whatever job tasks with the highest level of efficiency. My can-do attitude brings strong teamwork, dependability, and appreciation for the privilege it is to have the ability to work in the yachting industry.
