“Great products are not built in isolation. They come from listening to the industry, understanding the operational realities, challenges and risks our customers face every day. By working closely with stakeholders and translating those insights into data-driven solutions, we can build products that improve safety, transparency and performance across the maritime supply chain.”
Marlon joined RightShip following the acquisition of Thynk Software in 2022, a maritime technology business he founded in 2013. He previously served as RightShip’s Chief Product and Technology Officer, where his leadership played a pivotal role in accelerating the company’s evolution from a services-led organisation to a technology and AI-enabled maritime risk management platform. Today, as Chief Product Officer, he leads the company’s product strategy and development, ensuring RightShip’s solutions continue to evolve in line with the needs of the global maritime industry.
Prior to the acquisition, Marlon built and led the team at Thynk, applying Cloud, user experience (UX), analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to deliver digital transformation and customer value. Drawing on this experience, he has worked closely with stakeholders across the maritime value chain to understand operational challenges and emerging risks. These insights have shaped the development of data-driven and AI-enabled products, including the Document Management Centre, which helps reduce data fragmentation across the maritime supply chain; PSC RiskIQ, which uses data and AI to help ship owners and managers manage port state control risks; and the Due Diligence Hub, enabling more transparent and efficient vessel risk assessment. Together, these capabilities help the industry improve safety outcomes, increase transparency and strengthen risk management across global shipping.
Marlon’s experience spans London’s financial sector, disruptive technology and user experience design. His background outside the maritime industry brings a fresh perspective to the maritime supply chain, applying practices from other sectors to modernise how the industry approaches risk, compliance and performance.
Marlon brings extensive international experience across consultancy and product development in multiple sectors. A technologist at heart and a former Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP), he remains an active member of the global technology community. In 2025, he was recognised in Lloyd’s List Top 10 Technology Leaders, highlighting his contribution to advancing digital innovation in the maritime industry.
