Angeliki Frangou

Angeliki Frangou is a Greek female shipowner.[1] She is the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Navios Maritime Holdings.,[2] of Navios Maritime Partners L.P., of Navios Tankers Management Inc. and Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation.

Education

Ms. Frangou obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Fairleigh Dickinson University and a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Columbia University.[3]

Navios Group

In 2004, Frangou raised $200 million to buy Navios. Previously she was working on Wall St as an analyst on the trading floor of Republic National Bank for a couple of years.[4] As of December 2014, Navios Group controls 149 dry bulk carriers, 50 tankers and 12 container vessels.[5] Between 2004- 2014, "the Navios group has raised a shade under $10bn in financing - $6.3bn from the capital markets and 3.6bn from bank debt". Angeliki Frangou demonstrates an acute ability to grasp both the financial and shipping markets. "She is just as happy to mull over the fuel economies that can be achieved by proper sandblasting as she is to discuss the intricacies of financial tools". Being a woman in a male dominated industry does not seem to pose an issue for her. Asked about the role of women in top posts in shipping, she retorted that "I don't believe in gender, race, religion. I think it's what you want to make it. If you ever thought that you work in a company for any other reason than your ability, you should leave!" [6]
