Meet the Shipmates
Gregory Legrand

The son of a tugboat captain, Gregory grew up in Panama City, FL, where he learned to swim before he could walk!

Trish Fredericks
Trish Fredericks is the CTO of Peace of Ship. She graduated from MIT with a degree in Electrical Engineering and has been shortlisted for numerous awards in her field, including the Phil Kaufman Award, the Intel Outstanding Researcher Award, and the Nobel Prize for Physics. However, she has never won a single award…yet.
Nicholas Ladin
Nicholas’s journey to Peace of Ship began after an extended sabbatical in Mexico. During his time there, Nicholas created the philosophies that provide the wind to the sails that is the award-winning HR program at Peace of Ship.
Dallas Beauregard
Dallas Beauregard is the longest-tenured member of Peace of Ship’s sales team, StarBoard. Dallas was a star pitcher at the University of Arkansas, where he was known for his incredible, laser-like accuracy. After graduating college, Dallas worked for his father’s electrical company, which specialized in the installation of green energy infrastructure in rural areas. He has been named Peace of Ship’s Salesperson of the Year for the last five years, a company record.
Francois Fournier
Francois Fournier grew up in a commune in rural France. But after getting tired of living a life without air conditioning, Francois snuck to a library in a town three miles away and checked out a book on electricity. After reading the book, the autodidact secretly wired his childhood bedroom to the electrical grid – and the rest, as they say, is history. Francois joined Peace of Ship after working in Indonesia.
Poppy Joyce
After graduating college, Poppy moved to Silicon Valley, where she helped multiple startups scale to billion-dollar businesses. She is the most recent addition to the StarBoard, and she is looking forward to the opportunity to service Peace of Ship’s international client base. An avid traveler, her favorite city is Berlin.

Undeterred, Larry channeled his passions for itinerary creation into a new career in Human Resources. He has served as Peace of Ship’s Travel Coordinator for the last seven years. Larry has been to all 195 countries in the world, but his favorite city will always be Berlin.
