About E. J. van Den Ameele
For over 20 years, I’ve led complex programs in marine science, technology, and operations, shaping how the U.S. maps, navigates, and stewards its coastal environment. As a NOAA Captain and former Director of the Marine Chart Division, I oversaw the complete digital transformation of the nation’s nautical charting program, modernizing 7,500+ electronic navigational charts (ENCs) and implementing a GIS-based system that now underpins marine navigation safety nationwide.My leadership philosophy centers on clarity of mission, data-driven decision-making, and empowering people to excel. I’ve managed multi-million-dollar budgets, led teams of 130+ scientists, engineers, and geospatial experts, and guided strategic initiatives that balance innovation with operational continuity. I am experienced in managing programs of national significance, strategic leadership, and building effective partnerships that drive success.
