Welcome to Poseidon Consulting
Over the past 20 years I have been working for ship managers and ship owners in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. My roles covered strategic and executive aspects of ship owning and ship management with particular focus on manning of dry and wet cargo vessels.
During my journey as an influential leader of Marine HR divisions my main objectives have always been improving crew engagement, safety and financial health of organizations.
In an agile and ever changing environment, I assure that organizations are fit for growth from a fleet personnel perspective and have a sufficient number of well trained and experienced seafarers. I ensure that organizations have engaged seafarers, and that their processes are lean and efficient.
I am looking forward to helping you achieve your goals.

What others say about us
I find myself uniquely qualified to recommend Joanna having worked together on a major project (…). I have observed her in a number of situations which have allowed me to witness first hand her dedication, ability to deliver results to tight deadlines and manage her resources effectively. Joanna’s analysis work contributed to the success of the project and was very clearly presented and summarise. A very approachable manager who rapidly integrated the teams that she lead enabling her to deliver the results required by the project. I firmly believe that Joanna represents an asset in any company’s management team.
I have known Joanna for almost 20 years, and saw her grow through the ranks with some of major ship operators globally. Joanna has a professional and strategic outlook, and is always focused best outcomes for seafarers and organizations alike.
Our paths have crossed frequently at many industry conferences and events where Joanna spoke and presented her views on leadership, recruitment, employment and the well-being of seafarers. It is very refreshing to see someone from our industry who is able to appreciate the importance of seafarers, and translate it into tangible success for an organisation.
I am looking forward to collaborating with Joanna on any projects in the future.
Joanna is a real change agent. She leaves no stone unturned and is not afraid of facing the realities of what is needed. Combined with a great personality, strong team acumen and not least the ability to see through the haze of politics and other agendas. Joanna, made a significant contribution to the strategic roadmap and people clarity at K Line LNG, and as the strategic crew provider – OSM Maritime – first hand experienced the drive and persistence she has to make both the tough decisions and the popular ones. An eye for detail and in-depth industry knowledge are some of Joanna’s best forces.
I enjoyed working with Joanna and give her my best recommendations.
