Top 5 next generation in shipping 2017

Dorothea Ioannou, global business development director for SCB, manager of the American P&I Club managing director

AS THE winner of the 2017 Lloyd’s List Global Awards next generation shipping award, Dorothea Ioannou was a shoo-in to top our future leaders’ list. 

Ms Ioannou has come a long way in a short time, a fact she credits to the support and belief shown in her by the SCB leadership team, singling out American Club president and chief operating officer Vince Solarino as a key ally. 

She is the first woman appointed to the executive committee of the NY management company SCB Inc and is involved with corporate strategy. She grew the club’s tonnage by more than 16\% and developed its hull and machinery insurance subsidiary, AHHIC Ltd. 

Ms Ioannou  maintains oversight of the day-to-day operations of the Piraeus office and raises her daughter as a single parent.   

In receiving her accolade at the September ceremony in London, Ms Ioannou said: “An award like this encourages me to look for what’s next and helps me to be a better person.”
