Italian yacht manufacturer, Cantiere del Pardo, has announced a significant change in its leadership, with Marcello Veronesi stepping into the role of chief executive officer. Formerly chief strategy officer, Veronesi, will assume the position following the resignation of Fabio Planamente, who, along with Gigi Servidati, has successfully led Cantiere del Pardo since 2018.

Planamente has resigned due to personal reasons and comes at a time when, following the acquisition by the Oniverse Group, Cantiere del Pardo can rely on significant new management resources to ensure continuity of operations.

In his new role, Veronesi will work alongside long-standing partner Servidati. According to Cantiere del Pardo, the transition has been carried out with the agreement of all parties involved.

Veronesi says: “This appointment represents a great responsibility; the goal will be to continue the work done by Fabio and the entire CdP team over these years, and to strengthen it with greater integration into the Oniverse Group to face new challenges together. I am pleased to have found a highly skilled and equally motivated team. With these foundations, the future will bring us great satisfaction.”

Planamente will remain a shareholder and a member of the company’s board of directors, and will lend his experience to support the new CEO and the shipyard, where he has worked for over 20 years.

Planamente says: “After many years on the front lines managing this wonderful shipyard, which in recent years has achieved incredible success thanks to the work of everyone involved, I have decided to step down from my operational role to focus on personal projects. I will remain a shareholder and a member of the board of directors, and I am confident that, under the operational leadership of Gigi Servidati and Marcello Veronesi, the shipyard will continue its path of growth and consolidation. I want to thank all our collaborators and partners, who have always stood by us in overcoming the challenges we’ve faced during this long journey.”
 
Speaking on the leadership changes, Servidati, comments: “I understand Fabio’s decision and thank him for the great work we have done together over the years. I am confident that Marcello Veronesi will provide continuity, while also bringing new energy and valuable ideas for the future of Cantiere del Pardo.”
