Thibaud Maudet, CCO, De Antonio Yachts

De Antonio Yachts – which is debuting its flagship D60 at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival – has appointed Thibaud Maudet as its Chief Commercial Officer, responsible for leading the Spanish shipyard’s global commercial strategy and managing its international sales team.

Having spent much of his early career in Asia, Maudet spent two years with Dufour and over 11 years in the US with Groupe Beneteau, working in various roles for Prestige, Jeanneau and Four Winns.

“De Antonio Yachts has been growing non-stop since 2012, powered by cutting-edge design and distinctive lines, amazing performance with the hidden outboards, and bold innovations,” stated Maudet, who has relocated to Barcelona. “I’m excited to bring my contribution to the brand’s global growth.”

Constant Colders, who has led the commercial department for five years, is taking on a new challenge as Commercial Director APAC & MEA, leading distributor expansion and sales across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa.

Marc de Antonio and Stan Chmielewski, the company’s co-founders and CEOs, stated: “We believe these markets hold strong potential and could represent up to 30 per cent of De Antonio Yachts’ total sales in the medium term.”

Yann Salez, who joined as Commercial Director for the US, will continue leading the development of the commercial network in this region from Miami, with the goal of consolidating partnerships with exclusive dealers in the country’s key states.

De Antonio Yachts is renowned for its portfolio of boats with covered outboard engines, with the new D60 powered by four ‘hidden’ Mercury outboard engines under the aft platform.
