We are thrilled to welcome Jemma Lampkin to our Board of Directors!
Jemma joins as the Yachting Supply Chain representative, bringing a perspective that reflects the broader ecosystem and strengthens sector representation on our board.
Jemma was appointed Global Commercial Director of AkzoNobel’s Yacht Coatings Division in 2022. With over a decade of experience at AkzoNobel, including senior roles within the Aerospace Coatings business, she brings a wealth of expertise to the position.
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Columbia University and an Executive MBA from the National University of Singapore. Widely regarded as an inspirational leader and a strong role model for women in the marine industry, Jemma is deeply committed to advancing sustainable innovation within yacht coatings, driving initiatives that reduce environmental impact while maintaining performance excellence. As a frequent spokesperson at prominent industry events such as METSTRADE, she shares strategic insights on talent development, emerging technologies and the evolving role of sustainability in shaping the future of the marine sector.
“Becoming part of the Water Revolution Foundation board offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with industry experts equally passionate about embedding sustainability in yachting. The supply chain is instrumental for the acceleration of change through innovative product development. It is crucial that solutions reach the decision makers as early as possible, but also have their credentials checked. I’m honoured to have the opportunity to bring that perspective to the Foundation as we continue to drive meaningful, measurable progress towards a more sustainable future for our industry.”
Welcome to the Revolution, Jemma!
