The International
Maritime Organization (IMO) will sponsor a number of women from developing
countries to follow a new maritime leadership programme, curated by Maritime
SheEO , as part of its ongoing work to support gender diversity in the maritime
sector.
In Maritime, the higher you climb the fewer women leaders
In Maritime, as
with other sectors, the higher you climb the fewer women leaders you see in
leadership positions. You cannot be what you cannot see! We need more women
leaders, more role models and more importantly – our industry needs more
capable women in the Captain’s seat.
Braving through
the choppy waters of pandemic induced lockdown, that was thrown its way within
a short period of its inception in 2019 – Maritime SheEO has managed to put
together a leadership accelerator program exclusively for women in the maritime
industry.
Says Ms.
Sanjam Sahi Gupta, Founder &
Founder, Maritime SheEO, “with a strong belief that every woman in the
workplace should have the opportunity to flourish and achieve her full
potential. In 2019 I embarked on this mission through Maritime SheEO to create
an ecosystem that supports women to become the leaders they want to be and they
deserve to be”. She further adds, “I am
really very grateful to IMO for showing their confidence in Maritime SheEO
through their support for this unique Maritime women’s empowerment initiative”.

This initiative forms an
important part of the wider outreach strategy of IMO’s Women in Maritime
Program that aims to provide women with access to short skill-enhancement
courses similar to those offered for women in port management and operations. |
