Navigating the Seas of Business and Creativity with Drew Orvieto

We recently had the pleasure of interviewing Drew Orvieto on the Shipshape podcast. During the interview, Drew shared his insights and experiences as a leader of cross-functional teams, and how he approaches problem-solving in dynamic environments.

Drew's unique skill set, which spans product design, engineering management, leadership, sales, business development, and naval architecture, has allowed him to become a bridge between different disciplines and departments. He was once described by a former manager as "an engineer who can really talk to people," which he wears with great pride.

As a lifelong boater and holder of multiple patents for marine products and technology, Drew is particularly interested in innovation in the recreational boating industry. His experience with naval architecture, product development, project management, 3D modeling and rendering, engineering design, numerical simulation and optimization, and physical testing, gives him a comprehensive understanding of the industry's challenges and opportunities.

Throughout the interview, Drew's passion for collaboration and finding innovative solutions was evident. He approaches his work each day with a focus on being more effective, creative, and having more fun. It's clear that Drew is not only a leader in his field but also a great person to work with.
