The Wavemakers Podcast
Stories of the people shaping the change to green shipping, at the intersection of maritime, tech and decarbonisation.
Maritime industry is undergoing rapid change, new fuels and technologies often take the limelight, but we believe the key to success of every innovation are people. The Wavemakers Podcast aims to shine the light to those at the frontline - the chamions, innovators, 'status quo challengers', innovation and community catalysts, or simply being the first impacted by the change.
How does it feel to drive and pioneer change? What are the puzzle pieces of their story that drive their leadership? These are the questions that the podcast aims to answer as we get to know the maritime leaders over a coffee chat and beyond their professional titles.
Join us on this voyage!
The Podcast is hosted by Gordana Ilic, a co-founder of BetterSea and a former Head of Decarbonisation Portfolio Management at A.P. Moller - Maersk.

Eli discusses being one of the first women in a predominantly male field, her maritime journey built on the foundations of teamwork, and how her passion for helping others has shaped her role as a leader and coach.
Eli's story is worth a movie script. Enjoy!
