The Leeway Group of Companies is pleased to announce the appointment of Greg Veinott as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), marking a significant step in the continued growth and development of the organization. Greg will lead the Group’s commercial strategy, focusing on the expansion of current operations and the development of new markets across all divisions. He will also support the build-out of a robust project management team dedicated to advancing strategic partnerships and emerging technologies. Greg has been a pivotal member of the Leeway team and brings a strong understanding of the maritime and technology landscape. His elevation to CCO reflects his leadership, commercial acumen, and dedication to the company’s long-term vision. 

In tandem with this appointment, Leeway Marine is also proud to welcome Roger Barakett as Managing Director of Robotics. Roger will be spearheading the rollout of Leeway’s new Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) program. With over 30 years of experience in naval architecture, shipbuilding, and fleet maintenance, both with the Royal Canadian Navy and in the private sector, Roger will help to position Leeway at the forefront of autonomous maritime operations. 

Additionally, Marlon Regis has joined Leeway Marine as Vessel and Crew Regulatory Compliance Officer. Marlon brings over a decade of maritime experience, including senior roles in safety, logistics, and regulatory oversight in both Canada and the Caribbean. His expertise in ISM, ISPS, and QHSE systems will further reinforce Leeway’s commitment to regulatory excellence and operational safety. 

“Greg’s appointment as Chief Commercial Officer is a major milestone for the Leeway Group,” said Jamie Sangster, CEO of the Leeway Group. “He has grown with the company, and his strategic mindset and industry insight make him the right person to lead our commercial efforts during this exciting time. The addition of Roger and Marlon further strengthens our leadership team as we expand into cutting-edge autonomous systems and continue to deliver safe, reliable, and innovative marine solutions.” 

Lastly, Leeway recognizes the tremendous efforts of Campbell Green, Project Engineer, who has been with Leeway Marine and Enginuity, since September 2024, supporting various research initiatives and projects.
