“I am honored to have been elected to the Gibbs & Cox Board of Directors, which has a proud and long history in the commercial maritime industry,” says Walker. “Their focus on market expansion into the commercial and environmental compliance markets is timed perfectly for the needs of the larger OEM and shipping industry.”
Walker graduated from Wellesley College, and studied at Cornell School of Business Administration. In 2016, she was appointed an IMO Maritime Ambassador.
