In this episode of The Wavemakers Podcast, we talk with Barry Authers, a digital leader at the intersection of maritime digitalisation and decarbonisation and a Head of Partnerships at Veracity by DNV.

Barry’s journey from onshore energy and software engineering into global shipping offers a unique perspective on:

• Why regulation accelerates innovation
• The importance of data standards and trust
• How digital platforms enable decarbonisation at scale
• Building collaboration across competing stakeholders
• Lessons from ultra-distance mountain running that apply to leadership

We also discuss mentorship, the future of shipping toward 2050, and why the maritime industry is one of the most welcoming ecosystems for new ideas and new talent.
