Chris Stuckey

CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER, AND CO-FOUNDER

Stuckey, as he’s affectionately known among friends and colleagues, is in charge of developing robust and stable operational processes at Shift Naturals. As a teenager, Stuckey excelled in competitive soccer and ice hockey, fostering a lifelong passion for outdoor sports. This experience shaped him into a natural collaborator and leader, blending a playful and engaging demeanor with an engineer’s analytical mindset.

Post college, Stuckey deviated from a traditional engineering career as a professional kiteboarding coach, traveling the world and working with a diverse group of clientele from around the globe. Leaving behind sunny beaches and warm waters, Stuckey founded and created Maritant, a B2B e-commerce platform for marine industry buyers and sellers to connect with technical data. This venture underscored his ability to blend technical expertise with market foresight.

Chris, known for his creative tenacity and extensive project management experience, particularly with Virgin Voyages and Royal Caribbean, brings a unique blend of skills to Shift Naturals. His proficiency in project development, team leadership, and strategic execution, sharpened through managing Royal Caribbean's most complex and costly dry dock projects, is invaluable. At Shift Naturals, he plays a crucial role in driving the company towards greater vertical integration in logistics, production, and operations.
