Zephyr Maritime: Tsavliris enters recruitment sector

London: Yesterday saw a famous name in shipping launch a new maritime recruitment firm. Alexander G Tsavliris has founded Zephyr Maritime, a new executive search firm focused on mid- to senior-level shore-based appointments in the maritime industry.

Tsavliris’s rolodex of contacts should prove useful in his new venture. His heritage in shipping spans four generations. His father George A Tsavliris is one of the heads of the eponymously named salvage group, alongside his brothers Nicolas and Andreas.

Zephyr will work on appointments for “all kinds” of shipping companies, as well as for P&I Clubs and insurers, shipbroking houses, classification societies, technical companies, professional bodies and other maritime organisations.

Tsavliris aims to work with just a few clients so that he can pay them greater attention.

Maritime CEO has reported on the launch of a number of new maritime HR firms in recent years. Tsavliris, however, is not fazed by all the competition. “[T]he make up and philosophy/ethos” of Zephyr will make it stand apart from others, he insists.

Despite his background, there is no temptation for Tsavliris to get into other shipping ventures right now. “My complete focus for is on Zephyr – I need to ensure clients and candidates alike have 100% of my attention,” he insists.
