Owner familyNumber two
Number two (owning family). The owning family holds every seat but the Americas; the only hired executive is the president of Mangusta Americas in Miami.
The top team as read on LinkedIn72 people read as staff, October 2026
A family CEO and a family chief administrative officer over: President Americas (an engineer turned seller, Miami), a sales manager, head of image and communication; Technical Director of the metal division and a Director of Structural Engineering (composites); production line managers per hull, project managers per division (metal, composite), a style and design manager, boat chiefs and a shipyard captain.
Overmarine runs two product lines from one family-held company: the composite Mangusta open yachts and the metal Oceano and Gransport ranges. The roster mirrors that split: separate technical heads for metal and composite, separate project managers, and production organised as lines rather than projects, closer to a series builder than to the Dutch custom yards. The commercial side is light on LinkedIn (a US president, one sales manager), consistent with family-led selling and a Turkish representative (Btwo Marine) appointed in 2024.
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.
