Jet Skis, Green Fuels & Global Trade! A Life in Logistics with Gary Hubbard

In this episode of The Wavemakers Podcast, we dive into the fascinating career of Gary Hubbard, a seasoned logistics leader who transitioned from directing major global supply chains to driving the adoption of green fuels in maritime. With experience spanning continents, cultures, and industries, Gary shares how his journey through P&O Nedlloyd, Maersk, DHL, and beyond shaped his perspective on supply chains, sustainability, and the future of shipping.🌍 From his unexpected first assignment in China to his deep involvement in decarbonization efforts in the Middle East, Gary reflects on the evolution of global trade, the need for resilient logistics, and why the maritime industry is slow—but inevitable—in its transition to cleaner energy. We also explore the role of culture in shaping industry mindsets, the challenges of FuelEU compliance, and what fuels (literally and figuratively) the next wave of change.🏝️ On a lighter note, we uncover Gary’s ultimate retirement dream (spoiler: it involves jet skis and a beach) and his take on why embracing change is the key to success.If you're interested in the future of maritime logistics, sustainable fuels, and how global experiences shape leadership, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!🎧 Tune in now and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe!📌 Follow for more updates:🌐 Website: www.bettersea.tech📩 Contact for suggestions and collaborations: [email protected]🔗 Connect with Gary Hubbard: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-hubbard🔗 Connect with Gordana: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gordanailicphd/Subscribe to our channel and be the first to join future coffee conversations with the maritime change makers!🔗 Related Resources and Links: • Follow Gordana Ilic on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gordanailicphd/ • Follow us on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@BetterSea📩 Have questions or comments?
