In the run up to Europort 2025 we are excited to have several industry leaders share their take on some of the industry’s biggest challenges and emerging trends for the year ahead. In the first of our Industry Leader series, we were delighted to speak to WISTA International President, Elpi Petraki.
While Elpi wears many leadership hats, as WISTA President she is spearheading change at the highest levels to drive the maritime industry towards a more diverse and inclusive future. Her aims include ensuring Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) remains a top priority - as a key issue for the sector, particularly when it comes to attracting and retaining talent.
