WSB Advisors is pleased to announce the promotion of Raphael Montes to the position of Managing Director, effective October 2025.
Raphael joined WSB Advisors in 2017 and has since played a pivotal role in the company’s commercial and operational areas. Having started as Offshore Shipbroker, he advanced to Proposals Manager in 2023, where he was responsible for overseeing the development of chartering, engineering, and consultancy proposals — strengthening client relations and ensuring the delivery of tailored solutions aligned with the company’s strategic goals.
In his new role as Managing Director, Raphael will oversee WSB Advisors’ overall business strategy, commercial development, and client engagement initiatives, while leading multidisciplinary teams toward innovation and operational excellence. He will also focus on expanding the company’s footprint in the global offshore market and fostering long-term partnerships with industry stakeholders.
“I am deeply honored to take on this new challenge and continue contributing to WSB’s growth and leadership in the offshore sector. Over the past years, I’ve witnessed the company’s commitment to quality, integrity, and client success — values that I intend to strengthen as we move toward an even more dynamic and global future,” said Montes.
We congratulate Raphael on this well-deserved promotion and look forward to his continued contributions to WSB Advisors’ success.
