Captain Zarir Iràni — CEO
With 34 years of maritime legacy and experience including a decade and a half navigating the seven seas on global tramping ships has given me a unique perspective on international cultures, trade, and shipping. My leadership training and responsibility as Captain of a large pan-geographic trading ship, combined with my business management studies and a Master's in Business Administration, enabled me to invest in myself and take the helm at Constellation Marine Consultancy for the immediate past 2 decades. This leadership has spearheaded our journey toward becoming a globally recognized leader in maritime casualty investigation, claims consultancy, and loss prevention initiatives. Thanks to my mentors, their advice, and strategic emphasis on organic growth and professional excellence, we have solidified our reputation for delivering top-tier independent consultancy services to ship owners, asset investors, traders, charterers, and underwriters. Our unwavering commitment to ethical practices and client engagement has been pivotal in establishing a strong international market presence. As an Ambassador for the Baltic Exchange Expert Witness Association, I have amplified our industry influence and strengthened our brand. By harnessing my expertise in marketing communications and business development, we have forged lasting partnerships and broadened our horizons. Alongside our talented team, we continuously push the boundaries in the maritime, renewable energy, insurance, and cybersecurity sectors, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence while remaining grounded and extending a helping hand to all.
