Rhys is head of product at OceanOS, an AI startup accelerating offshore wind development by replacing fragmented, manual environmental assessments with a single intelligent platform. A product leader who has built and scaled generative AI platforms from zero to enterprise, he leads SeaLense – enabling developers to understand the ecological risk of any offshore site in hours rather than months, directly compressing one of the costliest bottlenecks in the UK’s path to net zero.

An experienced freediver with a lifelong connection to the ocean, Rhys is motivated by a simple belief: that better data and smarter tools can make the ocean economy both faster and safer for the natural world.
