Kraken Technology
Supporting an ambitious founder's journey from record-breaking and world championship-winning powerboat racing to autonomous maritime technology.
My relationship with Kraken's Founder and CEO spans more than fifteen years, beginning during the rise of Vector Racing, one of the most successful teams in offshore powerboat racing. Working across branding, communications, sponsorship proposals, website design and team livery, I helped support the team's growth during a period that included championship victories, world records and high-profile commercial partnerships.
As the business evolved beyond motorsport and into advanced maritime technology, I continued to provide strategic creative support, helping shape the identity, communications and presentation of an increasingly ambitious venture. What began as a consultancy relationship developed into a long-term collaboration built on trust, shared standards and a commitment to excellence.
