Xerxes Shroff

Twenty-seven years across maritime operations and commercial leadership, from running engine rooms at sea to closing acquisitions, building product lines from zero, and leading global teams across some of the world's largest shipping companies.

At Wilhelmsen Ships Service, I lead global corporate development, closing two acquisitions, managing post-merger integration across three businesses, and building a marine emission control chemicals business from inception to a 3-year CAGR of over 100%. I hold P&L accountability across a nine-figure product portfolio and a new business unit backed by a nine-figure project pipeline. The commercial work spans the full cycle: market sizing, GTM strategy, Salesforce pipeline management, and direct senior customer engagement across every major shipping region globally.

Before Wilhelmsen, I held full P&L accountability for a tanker fleet portfolio at Maersk Tankers and led environmental, ESG, and energy efficiency programmes across Scorpio's 90-vessel global fleet.

My foundation is technical. The last decade has been entirely commercial, sitting at the intersection of maritime operations, business development, and decarbonisation.
