Janni joins Navigate Response from the sustainability services industry where she led corporate communications and reputation management for a global circular economy services provider. She has hands-on crisis communications experience within a variety of complex industries, including energy, logistics and utilities. Janni also brings extensive ESG knowledge from past roles, where she worked with reputationally critical projects covering corporate responsibility and social value.
With the maritime sector facing ever greater scrutiny over its environmental impact and social responsibility, Janni’s experience will offer Navigate Response’s clients greater insight into the role organisational decision making plays in protecting corporate reputation and how the nature of decisions affects attribution of responsibility during crisis situations.
Joining the Navigate Response team, Janni said:
“I am thrilled to be part of Navigate Response’s growing crisis communications team and working at the forefront of maritime reputation management. I look forward to supporting our clients with their communication strategies in the continuously evolving global environment of increased public awareness and demand for corporate transparency.
Realistically, no organisation can avoid a crisis in its lifetime, but every organisation can prepare for one. This means an effective crisis response strategy will be key to business continuity and enabling long-term competitive advantage. It’s critical for companies to realise the value of reputation capital and understand how they can protect it when the unavoidable incident happens.”

Our team comprises former seafarers, journalists, Public Information Officers (PIOs), shipping industry insiders, social media experts and maritime corporate communications specialists. Janni’s background is a welcome addition as the entire maritime industry is increasingly confronted with questions about responsible business practices.”
