Leadership
Andrew Harrison
President/CEO
Born in the United Kingdom, Andy started his career in shipping in 1979. He worked for internationally renowned, London-based tanker brokerage houses in the early 1980's and a major oil trading company in the late 1980's and early 1990's. With sufficient expertise and knowledge, he opened his first brokerage company in 1992.
In 1994, he moved his company to the United States and formed his first joint venture with an already established US-based brokerage company. The joint venture company was ultimately sold, and he then became a partner in the already successful Sokana Chartering LLC. As a partner and director, he maneuvered the company into the strategically acclaimed sale to Eitzen Chemicals in 2006.
In late 2007, he reopened the doors of Sokana Chartering LLC as President. In three years, Sokana was built back up into a multi-office international corporation, which was ultimately sold to The Navig8 Group.
This enabled him to commence operations as Parlay Shipping and Trading LLC at the beginning of 2011. Following ownership and structural changes within Parlay Shipping and Trading LLC, the company ceased operations in March of 2014. Shortly thereafter, Andy relocated to South Florida and established Summit Freight and Logistics LLC, which commenced operations in April 2014.
