Summary

Seasoned maritime professional and certified logistics professional (MICS, FCILT) with 24+ years of leadership experience spanning shipping, logistics, and international trade. As the second-generation leader of the Macsons Shipping, I have architected the transformation of a regional ship agency into a globally aligned, multimodal logistics enterprise serving cross-continental markets.

Rooted in mechanical engineering and honed by a decade with Caterpillar Inc.,India, I bring systems-level thinking to supply chain strategy, organizational growth, and operational excellence. My leadership blends macro-management with human-centric governance—driven by purpose, innovation, and the belief that commerce must serve society.

I champion resilient logistics frameworks, ethical entrepreneurship, and the continuous evolution of people, systems, and strategy. Currently poised to expand my contributions into board and institutional leadership roles, I aim to influence global logistics ecosystems through visionary stewardship, advocacy, and impact-driven business transformation.
