Anemoi, a company specializing in wind drives, has appointed Tejal Davda as its new Chief Financial Officer.
This means that one third of Anemoi’s management team now consists of women. In her new role, Davda will be responsible for defining a financial strategy to support Anemoi’s growth plans.
“I am excited to join a company that values collaboration, innovation, excellence and is committed to sustainability,” said Davda. She wants to contribute to Anemoi’s decarbonization plan and help shape a greener, more sustainable future for the maritime sector. “My main focus will be to develop a financial strategy that supports our growth plans and to work with the leadership team to ensure that strategic decisions are guided by financial insight.”
Women on the Anemoi leadership team
She brings a wealth of maritime finance and leadership experience to her new role, strengthening Anemoi’s leadership team, which is now one third female. Davda has a degree in economics and corporate finance and is a chartered accountant, having trained and qualified with a top 10 accounting and auditing firm.
Davda specialized in audit and advisory services for the shipping sector and rose to the position of Audit Director. She then moved to a UK-based shipowner and operator where she led the financial reporting, financial planning and analysis and commercial finance departments during a period of rapid growth. Her expertise also includes fundraising, S&P analysis and tax planning and strategy.
Anemoi has already installed rotor sails on several vessels, including a VLOC from U-Ming and an ore carrier from Berge Bulk. In December, the largest ship to date was fitted with five sails. As part of SMM 2024, the technology provider also received type approval for its sail design from DNV.
