Francesco Gargiulo

Francesco Gargiulo is the Chief Executive Officer of the International Maritime Employers’ Council (IMEC) since 2015 and during his tenure he has steered the organisation to an exponential growth in both size and influence that sees it now recognised as the leading maritime employers’ organisation in the world.
IMEC’s key focus is on industrial relations and collective bargaining, they are the main employer association in the Joint Negotiating Group and account for 75% of the 10,000+ oceangoing vessels covered by International Bargaining Forum (IBF) agreements.
Over the years Francesco has also overseen expansion into new areas of interest which now include a significant training portfolio and three enhanced cadetship programmes in the Philippines, India and South Africa. He helped raise IMEC’s international profile whilst at the same time focusing on its core business and shepherding it through many challenging IBF rounds of negotiations.
Still a seafarer at heart, before joining IMEC Francesco spent 9 years at sea with Princess Cruises and a further 14 years in senior Crew Management roles with Carnival UK, MSC Cruises and K Line LNG.
