Speaker

Steffen Siebert is an accomplished maritime industry executive who has built an impressive career in ship chartering, port agency services, and ship supply. Born in Hamburg, Germany, Steffen developed a passion for the shipping world at a young age. After earning his degree, he joined Walther Möller in 2006 as a Chartering Broker and Port Agent.

In this role, Steffen honed his skills managing a high volume of dry and liquid bulk vessels. He worked tirelessly to build strong client relationships and a reputation for reliable, solutions-oriented service. Within a few years, Steffen had positioned himself as an emerging leader in chartering and port services.

Eager to take on more responsibility, Steffen moved to WECO Shipping Services in 2009. He started from scratch to develop WECO's agency and chartering department. Through a tireless work ethic and sharp business development skills, Steffen successfully grew the department's footprint. His ability to boost operational performance led to his promotion as Director of Agency and Chartering in 2013.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Steffen joined industry leader Wrist Ship Supply in 2016 to spearhead the company's launch in Germany. He built Wrist's German operations from the ground up, structuring sales, purchasing, warehousing and logistics. In just four years, Steffen played a pivotal role in cementing Wrist as a top ship supplier in the German market.

In 2021, Steffen brought his proven track record of building successful maritime operations to S5 Agency World. As Global Sales Manager, he quickly made an impact through his extensive network, technical expertise and knack for expanding customer relationships. His accomplishments led to his promotion to Head of Sales for EMEA in late 2022.
