This strategic move supports our continued international growth and underscores our commitment to advancing maritime safety and innovation worldwide.
Scott began his career at Weathernews Inc., a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed company specializing in optimum ship routing. The company’s mission to improve safety after a devastating low-pressure system struck a vessel and port in Japan inspired Scott’s lifelong commitment to saving lives at sea.
From there, he went on to serve as Vice-President of Sales for S5 Agency World, overseeing global sales of port agency services. He later led commercial efforts in satellite communications as Sales Director EMEA & ASPAC Offshore Energy and Regional Director for North Europe at Inmarsat.
As Head of Global Sales, Scott will lead commercial strategy and expansion across the commercial, governmental, and recreational maritime sectors.
His mission is to help accelerate adoption of our machine vision solutions across all vessel types, from offshore workboats to luxury yachts.
“SEA.AI is at the forefront of a transformation in the commercial, governmental and recreational maritime industries,” says Scott.
“Offering AI-driven collision avoidance and risk reduction within these rapidly digitalizing markets is incredibly exciting. Together with our partners, we have a mission to save lives at sea by unlocking enhanced situational awareness for all vessels in all sectors.”
A passionate scuba diver with a lifelong connection to the ocean, Scott sees the environmental and human impact of SEA.AI’s technology as a key motivator in joining the team.
“Whether it’s preventing collisions, avoiding whale strikes, or enabling more efficient routing, SEA.AI’s machine vision solutions deliver real value for customers—and for society.”
“Scott’s background in maritime safety, satellite communications, and global sales leadership is an ideal match for SEA.AI’s ambitions,” says our CEO Marcus Warrelmann.
“He brings both the expertise and the passion to help us scale into new markets while staying true to our mission of saving lives at sea.”
Scott will represent SEA.AI at key industry events, including METSTRADE, connecting with partners, customers, and the wider maritime electronics community.
We’re excited to have him on board as we continue scaling into new markets and delivering on our mission.
