ADVANTUM is proud to announce its membership in the Women in Maritime Association of the Caribbean (WiMAC), reaffirming our commitment to empowering women in both the maritime industry and across STEM disciplines. This important step underscores our strategic vision to champion inclusivity, innovation, and gender equity within traditionally male-dominated sectors.

At the recent Port Management Association of the Caribbean (PMAC) annual general meeting, Tamara Lowe-James, Immediate Past President of WiMAC (left), and Dr. Evette Smith Johnson, current WiMAC President (middle), stood together with both ADVANTUM’s CEO Dr. Frances Yeo (middle) and Tsahai Morgan (right), Communications and Marketing Executive. A moment that reflects the growing momentum behind regional efforts to elevate women into pivotal roles across the maritime sector.

ADVANTUM’s partnership with WiMAC aligns seamlessly with our internal values of diversity, empowerment, and visionary leadership. At the helm, Dr. Yeo, our dynamic CEO, champions a progressive vision that continues to shape our organization’s growth. Under her leadership, our development and administrative teams have seen significant expansion, marked by a strong and rising presence of women who are breaking barriers and redefining standards in technology and logistics.

This commitment to progress builds on our recent milestone of joining the Jamaica Technology & Digital Alliance (JTDA), further deepening our engagement with the wider tech community.

By joining WiMAC, ADVANTUM is doing more than showing support, we are actively embodying the change we want to see. Together, we are working to transform the maritime and STEM landscape in the Caribbean by creating space for women to lead, thrive, and inspire future generations.
