Episode Details

In this episode of Women in Maritime, Julia Gosling speaks with Margareta Jensen Dickson, Chief People and Communications Officer at Stena Line, about leadership, inclusion, career growth, and what it means to help change a traditional industry from the inside.

Margareta’s career did not begin in maritime. Her path moved through finance, HR, hospitality, retail, aviation, and organisational transformation before she joined Stena Line and grew into a senior leadership role across people, communication, brand, and crewing.

This conversation centres on the woman behind the title. Margareta reflects on entering a male-dominated industry, being the only woman in senior spaces, learning to trust her instincts, balancing motherhood with responsibility and travel, and why mentoring the next generation matters.

She also shares why inclusion cannot exist only as policy. It has to be built through culture, leadership, accountability, psychological safety, and the everyday actions that shape how people work together.

A thoughtful conversation about patience, courage, self-trust, and the human side of maritime leadership.
