Jeane Wrigley

Agent

Auckland, New Zealand

Hi Everyone!
I have worked in the world of luxury hospitality for the past decade, with the last 7 years being spent in the super-yacht industry. My area of expertise onboard is in the administration team, having worked as Purser or Administration Stewardess for half of my career at sea. I have absolutely loved working as part of a yacht crew, and have absorbed a wealth of knowledge from my experiences over the years. The time felt right to transfer my skill set into a shore support role, and I move forward in my career with a strong sense of personal values and work ethics that I trust will be of benefit to all future connections and clients, and am excited to continue my journey in the industry from a new vantage point. I am passionate about helping others, and as a recruiter understand how important it is to build a sense of community, trust and respect in your on-board team. I am lucky to be part the YOA family of passionate and knowledgeable industry professionals, who continue to provide tailored recruitment and shore support for you and your teams.
