He moved into the maritime sector in 2002, joining Maersk\u2014where he first became acquainted with CVI\/Capes\u2014and went on to spend over a decade in senior financial roles at The Port of Virginia.\u00a0<\/p>\n His expertise spans marine terminal operations, U.S. flag vessel management, and federal contracting. Over the years, Jeff has led key initiatives in financial reporting, budgeting, compliance, M&A integration, strategic planning, and the implementation of financial systems.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat drew me to CVI and Capes was the entrepreneurial culture\u2014grounded in expertise, focused on creating value, and driven by a clear appetite for growth,\u201d explained Jeff. \u201cI\u2019ve spent much of my career helping organizations expand operations, and I look forward to bringing that experience to this role. My goal is to help guide the company\u2019s financial strategy as it continues to scale and build the infrastructure to support long-term, sustainable growth. In today\u2019s turbulent market, there are opportunities for organizations with the expertise and agility to help customers navigate complexity and deliver meaningful solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n Jeff succeeds Michael King, who retired at the end of June after serving as CFO of CVI and Capes for more than 17 years. During his tenure, King was instrumental in maintaining financial stability and guiding both companies through periods of significant growth and market disruption\u2014notably in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic. He will continue to support the organization as a member of the Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n maritime professional<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
