Andrea Antichi, General Manager, Azimut

Andrea Antichi has begun his new role as General Manager of Azimut Yachts, following over 19 years with Ferrari. Antichi will report directly to Marco Valle, CEO of Azimut-Benetti  Group, who said the Italian’s appointment reflects Azimut’s aim to integrate the best skills in the nautical sector with high-level managers from other industries.

“Andrea’s appointment is an important part of the current phase of evolution of the Azimut division, which commits to building the foundation of an ambitious vision for the coming years: accelerating industrial development with an increasingly structured approach, while continuing to innovate constantly,” Valle said.

“Bringing both experience and managerial vision, Andrea will make a decisive contribution in guiding a new phase of growth, in making production processes even more efficient and in continuing to raise our quality standards.”

Azimut-Benetti Group, which has led the Global Order Book for 24m-plus superyachts for 25 years, stated that Antichi will be responsible for defining the strategic direction of the [Azimut] division and achieving economic and industrial objectives. His priorities include overseeing the company’s production sites, which are currently at the centre of a transformation and enhancement plan.

A mechanical engineer by training, Antichi’s professional background is dominated by his time at Ferrari. Having joined in 2006, Antichi held manufacturing roles of increasing responsibility and in January 2022 was appointed Chief Manufacturing Officer, a position he held until joining the Azimut-Benetti Group.

Prior to joining Ferrari, he gained experience in the technical field at Piaggio and was active in the research field at the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institutes, where he worked on computational biomechanics.
