Danielle Southcott
Chief Executive Officer
Founder of Veer Group, Danielle was named by the Royal Institute of Naval Architects as one of the most influential women of the past century, and was listed by The Ocean Opportunity Lab as an inspirational female founder to watch.
Originally from the Great Lakes of Canada, Danielle began sailing at age 13. A graduate of the ‘’Enkhuizer’’ Sea Academy, she learned Dutch to graduate. She obtained her 200T masters ticket at the age of 21 which empowered her to captain of the flagship of Barbados, cargo schooner Ruth. Danielle wrote and implemented the successful beach-launch of Ruth, which was the largest ship built in the history of the country.
She is co-founder of the Costa Rican non-profit AstilleroVerde, which plants thousands of trees and creates jobs in a vulnerable coastal community. Each year Danielle’s company sponsors a young lady to sail on the tallship St. Lawrence II – a ‘’thank you’’ to the Canadian ship that first inspired her.
