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 Maritime, where he was one of the minds behind Kognify.

Matt was one of the keynote speakers at the Opening Oceans Conference in Copenhagen, early May, where this interview was recorded. With birds singing in the background (!).
