Number two. The most senior hired executive after the CEO: CCO since 2020, Benetti's CCO before, chairman of Fraser. The operations side is newer (COO since March 2026).
The top team as read on LinkedIn79 people read as staff, October 2026
CEO (a serial yard chief executive on behalf of the Gavio group) over: Chief Commercial Officer (the brief's hybrid archetype), Chief Operating Officer (Mar 2026, from Tankoa production), Executive Director (projects), Technical Director, CFO and HR Manager, Head of administration and control (2026), Head of Marketing and Communication, Director for the Americas, a sales manager, purchasing manager, production, refit and after-sales manager, quality and HSE; a separate Commercial Director for the Baglietto Navy line.
Baglietto is small enough (about 120 on LinkedIn, more on the floor through contractors) that its whole senior layer is visible: one CEO, one CCO, one COO, one technical director, one finance head. The yard sells yachts and naval patrol boats from the same organisation, which is the closest Italian analogue to a shipbuilder that adds yachts to naval work. The top team is the brief's reference pairing in miniature: a commercial chief with an engineering degree beside a CEO who came through two other yards and an operations chief who came from the next yard along the coast. Many project and technical staff moved in from TISG in 2025-2026.
Seats and dates are as the people describe them on LinkedIn; a person who moved in the last months can still show the old seat. Tap a person for the profile and the reading.
