Season 2 - Episode 5 - Chris Whatley - Growth Hacker at savvy navvy

With such a quirky job title, we were intrigued to hear about the work he’s doing to digitally promote savvy navvy and the rest of the marine industry. Chris is part of the marketing team and is responsible for their growth as a company, so his work with a wide digital landscape and experience of wearing different business hats really comes into play there.
Chris started sailing in his mid twenties and is now enjoying boat racing on Thursday nights or “product testing” with his colleagues.
We talk about how digital technology is impacting the marine industry, from navigation systems to disrupting the current status quo and attracting young people to the sector.
