Six leading maritime transportation women shared their success stories that highlighted the growing role of women in the U.S. maritime industry. Many cited the support of mentors, many of whom were men, as one key to their success.
The six shared their experiences at the Propeller Club of Northern California on February 18th and included: Susan Ransom, Stevedoring Services of America, Captain Samar Bannister, California Maritime Academy, Captain Anne Mcintyre, San Francisco Bar Pilots, Carolyn Almquist, Port of Oakland, Leanne Andalis, Pasha Group and Laura Germany, Pacific Merchant Shipping Association (PMSA).
However, the Propeller Club audience’s loudest ovation was accorded to Kristi McKenney, the Port of Oakland’s new executive director. On February 13th, the Oakland Board of Port Commissioners named McKenney the new executive director following announcement of Executive Director Danny Wan’s retirement on February 28.
McKenney will be the first woman to serve as executive director in the Port of Oakland’s 98-year history.
“I’m grateful and excited for this opportunity to lead during such a transformative time in Port history,” said McKenney.
McKenney joined the Port as an environmental planner. She has held several positions at the Port, from Assistant Aviation Director to Interim Executive Director. She has been the Port’s Chief Operating Officer (COO) since February 2020.
“We look forward to Ms. McKenney taking the Port’s vision to the next level,” said Port of Oakland Board President Michael Colbruno.
