I am writing to express my interest in serving as a General Committee Member of the Ocean Cruising Club. Over the past year, I have had the privilege of serving as Port Officer for Antigua, where I have enjoyed welcoming and assisting OCC members on their arrival. This role has reinforced my belief in the importance of community involvement, reflected also in my membership with the Antigua Yacht Club and the Antigua & Barbuda Ocean Trust.
Now retired, I have the time and commitment to dedicate to a broader role within the OCC. Sailing has been a lifelong passion, inspired by my late father, himself a former OCC Port Officer for Antigua. My own sailing journey has included acquiring a Rossiter Curlew 32, built in Christchurch, England, which I sailed from Antigua to Florida. I then spent eight years cruising the U.S. East Coast before professional responsibilities required me to pause my cruising life.
Professionally, I have served as Chief Marketing Officer for a $9 billion company and later as CEO of a $1 billion company. These experiences have equipped me with strong marketing, communications, and public relations skills that I believe can help the OCC grow, strengthen its brand, and expand its reach.
Through conversations with OCC members passing through Antigua, I see opportunities to enhance awareness of the benefits the OCC offers—guidance, resources and camaraderie. These opportunities extend to attracting new members locally and deepening engagement among existing members worldwide.
I am enthusiastic about the possibility of contributing to the OCC’s continued success and partnering with fellow committee members to drive engagement and growth. It would be an honour to bring my experience, passion for sailing, and commitment to community to the General Committee.
