A change in leadership at Azimut do Brasil has been announced by the CEO of the parent company, Azimut|Benetti. The decision is part of the strategy aimed at consolidating growth and accelerating the Group's strategic investment plan in the country.
From the headquarters of Azimut do Brasil in Itajaí (Santa Catarina), Marco Valle, CEO of the Azimut|Benetti Group, the world's largest megayacht builder, announced a change in leadership at the Brazilian subsidiary. He also confirmed the local investment plan, emphasizing the country's strategic role for the Group.
After ending its collaboration with previous CEO, Francesco Caputo, and previous sales manager, Gustavo Hoffmann, due to a breach of trust, the company has appointed Andrea Consolini, currently Chief Financial Officer, as interim CEO of the Brazilian subsidiary of Azimut Yachts. The governance is further strengthened by the appointment of Roy Capasso, a manager with extensive and consolidated international experience in the nautical sector, as Commercial Director.
Azimut do Brasil confirms its position as a leader in high-end yachts in the local market and a consolidated industrial player, with over 15 years of activity, approximately 600 employees, and a production volume that exceeded 40 vessels last season. The Group intends to lead a new phase of development, accelerating the implementation of the investments defined in the plan approved in November 2024 and, to this end, it will also make use of the mandate assigned to its board member, Giorgio Gallia. The plan is structured around three strategic priorities:
- continue to improve production,
- support growth by expanding industrial capacity,
- implement the range renewal program, with the development of new models that confirm the brand's competitive positioning, a strategy underscored by the commercial success of the Grande 25M, presented last July.
"With this reorganization, we reaffirm Brazil's centrality as a key market and a cornerstone of Azimut's global strategy, demonstrating our commitment to structured investments that support long-term growth," said Marco Valle, CEO of the Azimut|Benetti Group.
Azimut do Brasil looks to the future with strengthened governance and structured investments, aiming to consolidate its growth in the country and contribute to the global growth of Azimut Yachts.
