Columbia Group Unplugged
Welcome to “Columbia Group Unplugged” – the official podcast of Columbia Group.
This is where our people come together to share real conversations about the maritime world, life at Columbia, industry trends, sustainability, safety, wellbeing, and much more. From ship to shore, our employees open up about the challenges they face, the innovations they’re proud of, and the future they’re helping to shape.
No scripts, no hosts—just authentic voices from across the Columbia family.
Whether you’re looking for insight, inspiration, or simply a new perspective from a colleague on the other side of the world, this is your space to listen, learn, and connect.

People First: Leading AI the Columbia Way
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
AI is moving fast, but leadership matters even more.
In this episode, our CEO sits down with Christina Orfanidou, Columbia’s new Head of AI, to discuss how we’re approaching AI with governance, responsibility and a clear principle: innovation should never become the tail that wags the dog.
From protecting seafarers’ data to empowering our teams, this is a conversation about building AI the Columbia way, people first.
