A New Era for Superyacht Sustainability: Leah Werner to Helm Water Revolution Foundation

The maritime world is set for a shot in the arm as Leah Werner steps up to the plate as the new executive director of the Water Revolution Foundation, effective from 1st January 2026. The foundation, a non-profit organisation squarely centered on fostering sustainable evolution within the superyacht industry, has given a nod to Werner’s 13-year-old leadership history brimming with environmental science expertise, policy implementation, and a brilliant understanding of biological oceanography.

It’s clear that Werner’s robust ability to bridge the gap between complex scientific concepts and non-technical audiences will be harnessed to its maximum potential. Industry decision-makers and stakeholders alike stand to benefit from her unique ability to translate and repackage complex ideas into palatable directives, a skill that will be quintessential to the foundation’s mission. Certainly, her appointment is expected to prompt fresh opportunities for the foundation’s programme, sparking a trajectory of growth in reach and impact.
