093 Matthew Duke, Chief Business Process Officer, Grieg Star

Meet the environmental scientist who fell into IT, which made him fall into the maritime industry focusing on digitalisation & innovation, Matt Duke, Chief Business Process Officer, Grieg Star.   Matt started his maritime career with Odfjell, where he became Global Head of IT and built up a fascination for the shipping industry, which he wanted to become better via IT and to save money by a more structured way of working.  When it became time to move on there was a choice between shipping & digital - and he found somewhere he could combine those two passions, at Kongsberg Digital where he was one of the minds behind Kognifai.  Matt was one of the keynote speakers at the Opening Oceans Conference in Copenhagen, early May, where this interview was recorded.
