OceanMind

As a PADI trained Rescue Diver, Nick feels an affinity for the ocean and for ocean conservation, having seen many of the problems facing the ocean first hand. Nick has been designing large-scale, highly secure software solutions for 20 years. His expertise lies in solving complex problems using innovative techniques that are focused on market needs. As the architect of the technological and business solutions of OceanMind, he is responsible for the overall design of the intelligent vessel behavior analytical solution, as well as the business model for leveraging the economic power of seafood buyers and the deterrence of effective enforcement to increase the sustainability of fishing globally.

Bradley has spent most of his life either on or thinking about the sea. He joined the U.S. Coast Guard as a teenager and upon commissioning immediately started conducting law enforcement and search and rescue in some of the world’s largest fisheries. He subsequently served in a variety of operational and leadership roles in the Coast Guard including commanding officer of a patrol boat, deputy chief of fisheries enforcement at headquarters, and lead for fisheries enforcement off California. Brad left the Coast Guard in 2013 to become a Criminal Intelligence Officer at INTERPOL’s General Secretariat in Lyon, France where he led the organization’s nascent fisheries project. In 2015, Brad moved to the UK and joined Project Eyes on the Seas, the initiative that would become OceanMind as the first fisheries compliance and maritime surveillance expert on the team.
