Roger earned a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Dublin, Trinity College. From there he began working for an environmental engineering company and has maintained an environmental theme in his career ever since.

In 2006 he joined the Wilhelmsen Ships Services in Oslo, Norway as an environmental product manager. The role presented an interesting mix of commercial, communications and technical challenges and was a springboard for the move to an environmental business development position with Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions which he held from 2010 to mid 2012.

In June he took over the role of the VP, Global Head of Environment at Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics and will continue WWL's strong work on environmental issues, a critical element of the company's global commercial relations and approach to a sustainable business.
