GX Superyachts has just appointed Maurizio Magri to the new role of Chief Commercial Officer and as a new Board member, as the yachting brand looks to consolidate on a period of strong growth.
He will lead the sales team of the young business as it moves into the outfitting stage of its debut GX42 RPH yacht, develops detailed plans for the new GX38 Voyager, unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show, and advances projects such as the GX34.
Magri is a seasoned industry operator with a string of success stories built up over a career spanning 40 years. The Italian has launched start-ups, rescued long-standing brands and helped others to maximise their sales potential. He attended the Naval Academy of Livorno, Italy, and the Texas A&M University in Maritime Business Administration.
Although he has been active across the whole maritime sector, from oil and gas to defence, his more recent focus has been firmly on the yachting side with roles at CBI Navi, Admiral, Technomar and Wider. Here he demonstrated his ability to develop commercial strategies, hone brand positioning and boost sales.
"I am very excited to be leading sales at GX Superyachts, which has made such a splash in its first year," said Maurizio Magri. "As CCO, I will be looking to help the business convert enquiries to orders after a stellar 15 months which have seen three new models launched: GX42, GX38 Voyager and GX34. At the same time, I am looking forward to introducing new clients to the GX Superyachts family."
"Young yacht brands often struggle to make their voices heard above other, more established names, but GX Superyachts has not had this problem," said GX Superyachts founder Vladimir Zinchenko. "On the contrary, we have been overwhelmed by the degree of interest in our sleek, efficient hybrid yachts, which offer a robust response to the environmental concerns of future owners. This is why it made sense to recruit an experienced yachting industry leader to help us move sales to the next level. I am delighted to welcome Maurizio to the team!"
GX Superyachts will expand its commercial operations from the epicentre of European yachting in Monaco, where Maurizio Magri will oversee customer relations and the promotion of the company's commercial and public relations initiatives. The first majestic GX42 is slated for delivery in summer 2026.
