Ferretti Group appoints Giancarlo Galeone as CEO

Following the sudden death of Salvatore Basile, the Ferretti SpA Board of Directors has appointed Giancarlo Galeone as the Group’s new CEO. Galeone has already held the position from 1995 to 2006. He had worked closely with Basile during the Group’s reorganisation and relaunch.

“At a time of such sorrow for our Group, which shares the profound grief of Mr Basile’s wife and family, the appointment of Giancarlo Galeone will guarantee the best company and strategic continuity for Ferretti Group,” commented Norberto Ferretti, Ferretti Group Chairman and Founder. “Giancarlo Galeone’s in-depth experience of the nautical sector, the fact that he totally embraces the strategic lines of the relaunch and development plan we have been implementing over the past few years, and his comprehensive knowledge of the Ferretti Group will assure a decisive contribution to the development of our projects over the next few years”.

Galeone added: “I sincerely thank the Chairman and the Board of Directors for the trust they have shown by appointing me. I accepted this position because I thoroughly share the same strategic vision of the entire team, which immediately expressed its great trust and support.

“My aim will be to continue together along the route marked out and shared over the past few years with Salvatore Basile, a man with a strong, sensitive personality, who managed to convey these qualities instantly to all the employees of our Group.”
