About this listen

Mirroring the theme of the International Maritime Organization’s symposium - An Ocean of Opportunities - we dedicated our latest Columbia Group Unplugged podcast episode to highlighting gender dynamics in shipping and how they play into the careers of women in our industry.

Maria Theodosiou, GP General Procurement Company Limited (GenPro)’s Managing Director, and Yiola Hadjichristodoulou, Senior QSHE Officer, discussed their personal career journeys, growth into leadership roles, and the importance of inclusion to support women in traditionally male-dominated fields.

According to the IMO, women make up 20% of the maritime workforce ashore, and even less at sea. Our Female Cadetship Programme, dedicated DEI teams, inclusive hiring practices, and women in senior leadership roles reflect our commitment to building an equitable maritime workforce. From crew to C-suite, we support women at every step of their journey.

Join us in celebrating the invaluable contribution of the women in our industry.
