Helena Athoussaki

Helena Athoussaki brings many years of strategic experience in Technology and Communications, Shipping and Environment. At an early stage, she foresaw that ship owners would experience strong environmental pressure on emissions and energy efficiency. Having worked on research and strategy for large ICT corporations and gained wide experience in sustainability and environmental projects, Helena shaped an early Energy and Emissions management programme for ships — a holistic approach providing monitoring and reporting, certification, data analysis and advisory services.

Helena is a key expert on climate change and environmental strategy for shipping and ports, with extensive knowledge in energy and carbon management. She is an active speaker at a wide variety of shipping conferences and associations, and has been involved in various proposals, presentations and studies for the IMO and the EU. She is a member of the Women's International Shipping and Trading Association (WISTA), and holds executive degrees from the London Business School in Finance and Accounting, Hedge Funds, and Mergers & Acquisitions, and in Private Equity from the Saïd Business School in Oxford, as well as an MBA from ALBA and an MA from the University of Middlesex in London.
