Chris McDade - Going from Deck Cadet to VP of Gas Ops at Teekay, Seafarer Career Development and Taking on Challenges (#6)

December 23, 2020 • Gordon Rennie • Season 1 • Episode 6

Chris McDade was appointed as Vice President of Gas Operations by Teekay in the Summer in the middle of the COVID pandemic. His rise within Teekay to his new position has been relentless and his willingness to take on new projects and succeed isn't common so it was great to learn more about his journey in joining the industry as a Deck Cadet and the small decision at the time to join one of two vessel types and the eventual difference it made in his career path.

Teekay Gas has went through incredible growth in recent years and the culture they have created within the Gas Business isn't easy to achieve so it was great to hear Chris's opinions on how they have achieved this and the opportunities they have ahead of them in the future.
