The top team as read on LinkedIn63 people read as staff, October 2026
Executive chairman over business units with their own presidents (Yacht: a president promoted from COO and technical director; SL Yacht: the former sales director as president; the Superyacht division run for ten years by a former Ferretti group CEO, who now heads the Mediterranean distribution company) and regional chief executives (Asia Pacific, Americas service, Côte d'Azur, Australia). Group C-suite: Chief Sales Officer (from the dealer network, Dec 2024) with sales directors per division, Chief Corporate Officer (finance, M&A, IR, legal, HR), CFO (since 2008), Chief Marketing & Communications Officer (Aston Martin), CIO (Barilla), Chief Procurement Officer (De'Longhi), Chief R&D Officer, HR senior director (Lamborghini). Operations: an Industrial Executive Director and a COO for the Yacht unit, plant directors per site (Ameglia, La Spezia, Viareggio, Massa, Arbatax), technical directors per unit, vice presidents for services and deliveries, customer care and refit.
The clearest two-layer organisation on either list. Underneath sits the yard: long-tenured presidents, plant directors and technical directors who came up through project management and engineering. On top, since 2023-2025, a corporate C-suite imported from automotive and luxury (Ferrari, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Barilla, De'Longhi) and a sales leadership imported from the dealer network. The roster also holds the two leaders RMK already knows from Merrill-Stevens, and the brief's benchmark names Vincenzi and Soria. Revenue EUR 930 million and 1,600 employees in 2024, per the group controller's own profile.
